About 35 years ago, I was at a flea market in NJ and this strange guy had a violin that was in pieces that he was touting as a real Stradivarius and asking $250,000 on a crummy cardboard sign marked "CHEAP". He was explaining the "Stradivarius seams" in the pieces of wood that he hadHere we are about 25 miles from the city and if it was real, could have gotten more if he would take it there. (If it was real) Idiots!!
If Christies told you that it was worth that much----SELL IT TO THEM!!!! Idiots!!!

Well, the auction has ended. In his messages he said he would ship it to Christie's if it didn't sell on ebay. We'll have to keep an eye out and see if it shows up in one of their lots.
