I never used mine but set it nicely displayed at the end of my beautiful “Verde Karzai” green granite peninsula. It was a great conversation piece but in time it lost it’s visual appeal and became ‘in the way’ so I sold it for exactly what I paid for it… $500

I felt it was the top of the market as well, or at least the very highest I was willing to go. Usually, at auction, I can do much better, getting stuff at wholesale value (about a quarter of the time) or I get blown out of the water so fiercely the other 3/4 of the time, I can’t even get a bid in. This was one of those unusual cases where it wasn’t a bargain but I wasn’t soundly outbid. My guess is shipping might have had something to do with it that gave a floor bidder a slight advantage, but I had hoped that would discourage most others as well.
