Goodness, how do you know that?,  All the IDs being hidden etc...

Is the collector Stateside or UK?  (Or other?)   Am only wondering if it went to a well know UK comic collector called Jonathan Ross?

but not close to the highest price for any item.  This appears to be #3 behind a Gulfstream business jet at $4.9M and Mulder's Gigayacht at a staggering $168M

I think it's a sign of eBay reaching into a new arena and potentially competing with Sothbeys, Christies etc for the big items
re-aligning the business for the future.
