IT'S BETTER IF YOU READ THIS SETUP BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO!
An ancient Chinese Ming vase is up for auction...
The bidding opens at a half-million Euros. Bidding is brisk and each bidder is clearly identified as each raises the bid by 100,000 Euros. (The exchange rate today is 1 Euro = $1.54.)
Within seconds, the bid stalls at ?One Million Euros?, and the gasp from the crowd identifies the excitement that prevails in the room.
The successful bidder is the last one who bid ?One Million?, and the auctioneer counts down the bid...
"Going once, going twice, and sold to the gentleman sitting in front of me for one million Euros."
The rest, as you will see... is in the video! J
