This has been on eBay a dozen or more times in the past year or two:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/351569271662

It keeps showing up as an upcoming live auction, and it keeps showing as sold. Recent "sales" that still show up in completed listings:

August 7: $2000, 1 bidder.
August 18: $1600, 2 bidders.
September 16: $2000, 1 bidder.
September 30: $2250, 2 bidders.
October 17: $1500, 1 bidder.

I can only guess that there's a high reserve (the estimate is very high). But who would bid on eBay with only one tiny picture and zero description? Are the bids from eBayers or attendees at the live auction? It's mystifying to me.
