Since the eBay thread is open, I wonder if someone could explain
something to me.  Yesterday afternoon an auction closed on a 1911
Steinway player which, except for having a standard 88-note player
and not a 65/88-note Themodist, could have been the twin sister of
my piano.  The first and only bid was $5,000.

What does that mean?  No interest?  That's possible, but I'd hate
to think so.

Is it more likely that someone got in touch with the buyer and they
traded off-line?  That's okay too, but I'm sure eBay doesn't think so.
Still, I'd hoped to get an insight regarding the value of my piano.

Oh well, it was fun just to see the pictures and know the twin sister
is still out there.
