I also think I remember that there was some other buyer trying to get the piece for a long time and Bruce swooped in and got it instead. That's terrible, but the seller should have been aware that the thing was worth something special if 2 collectors are hovering around trying to get the thing.

You don't remember correctly. There were not two collectors. (Unless Bruce counts as two.)
