[Chateau Slate 66]

I thought that Spanky has lost his touch a bit. Many times he had to stop and find his bidder. He even had to back up several thousand dollars and start over a few times. The other auctioneers didn't seem to have that problem.

I also think the lawsuit at least influenced things. The hammer was held for a long time and many times the auctioneers looked around and said "we don't want any mistakes!"
