He was one of a kind.

Imagine the level of "savvy" to be able to bid that amount, not knowing how high it might have gone without his opening bid?

That's not savvy- that's ballsy. And foxy- probably - scaring away the other bidders.

He was planning on shutting everyone down with that opening bid, that's why he wanted the girl (who was his phone bidder) to practice in front of a mirror to get the effect right and hopefully shut down everyone else (which is what happened)
