Yes, they went for lower than expected for sure. But, remember the 18% buyer's premium has to be added in. That is not an insignificant amount.

Plus you factor in state tax, tack on another 3.5-5% "depending on auction" if you pay with card, shipping & handling. Easy to be atleast 25% on top of hammer price, or more.
