Most of us read that article and came to the conclusion that the game sold for $9000.
But the fact of the matter is that the father did not sell the game. He put up an auction and told people to go ahead and bid it up, as he was was not planning on selling it after all but did not feel like cancelling the auction. (Which is pretty easy to do BTW.) He goes on to say that he also will not hold the high bidder to purchasing the item.
Heck, had I seen that auction while it was still live I would have bid on it as well. Why not when the seller stipulates that they have no intention of making somebody pay.
