First lots go off in 15 minutes, so time to post a guess: I am guessing that it breaks through the high end of the estimated range, and settles in at $318,000 (with premium). Seems like it's worth about one-third the price of the one-sample racing suit . . . How's that for logic!!

I am also admitting that this is a complete crap-shoot / wild guess, on my part, and there may not even be a bidder at the opening $200,000. Interestingly, a bid of $200,000 will cost the buyer $246,000, so if it opens, then maybe it gets to $300K in a hurry.
