There were some bids. Last one I saw was around the $160,000 mark, but apparently not enough to meet the reserve.
I, too, would love to see the before picture. From the descriptions on the work orders it must have been a mess. Sounds to me like they rebacked it and rebuilt three borders.
(Note - I currently live in the Dallas area. I'm used to seeing women who have had a lot of "work" done, but not cards. Prizner may know more.)
