So am I the only one seriously considering putting in an absentee bid on the off chance that none of the art collectors wives are into gross lime green slugs with skulls for heads and eyeball-vaginas on their undersides?
Or at "real" auction houses do they start the bidding from the low end of the estimate? Because if that's the case, they can keep their $600 Menargo

$2400 for the T-28 DX? Maybe for the Chokinzoku, but not the DX. They're out of their damn minds...

trying to make sense of it is what has made me bitter in some ways...I'm starting to feel free knowing that is just as insane as people "outside" of it think it is...now they want to bring the crazy to the Kaiju world...hopefully putting the stuff on the Bay will make them realize that them thar' estimates is a wee bit high...
