    When you add on the auctioneers 20% it's over 51million, so the auctioneer hasn't done too badly plus the dosh he gets from the vendor aswell. Very nice thank you.

    If I'd have found it, it would probably have ended up down the charity shop and they'd have sold it for a fiver. :lol:

    The auctioneer got so excited that he broke the gavel when he slammed it down to close the bidding. Imagine if the shrapnel had smashed the nearby vase! :wink:
