An immediate opening bid of $2,600,000 gets the crowd buzzing, followed by a lull and a half-time break. Bidder 2 hesitantly joins with a $25,000 raise. Bidder 1 comes straight back in with another $25,000 raise. The two bidders battle it out with very different styles. Bidder 1 submits bids in seconds.
