I'd be whispering a few words into the President's ear about accepting too low.

Would the sale you comment on be the DeGroot auction?
Perhaps closer to 469,223.48 EUR complete with spares, superb example, including the auction house hammer and Dutch VAT ? In Loonies that would be north of $710,000.00 at 1.513.
Comparing a gutted gate guard that has sat idle for forty-three years with the quality of the former DeGroot collection? A starting point, perhaps.
