Anybody know what might have happened to this auction? I was really curious about this, since I figured it would tell what the value of this car is on the "open market".

If someone has more information (i.e. dealer closed the sale with 8 minutes remaining), please post.
Interesting. I would like to believe they pulled it because their reserve was not met. If that reason is in fact the case, hopefully this will help send a message to other dealers to stop trying to charge us with a ridiculous markup.
