Amazing -- just sitting in someone's loft!

Imagine the auction house owner is having a few beers tonight as well .. his commission has probably instantly made him a millionnaire ..

the buyer will probably have to pay another 15 million in taxes to get it into china.

Also how the hell would you ship something like that? I would think insurance would be a million plus

Tbh if you had paid that much you would come collect it in person and take it on the plane with you
