I was on an auction several months ago where they had a couple dozen tractors. When they started selling the tractors, all of them were going for twice what I thought they should, so I wandered off somewhere else. I heard later a real straight MM G1000 went for $600.

I finally bid $20, the auctioneer said "Sold", and I was standing there with my mouth hanging open.
