I agree... In the article, they identify their own Mears Bid as the winning bid amount. In reality, it should have been the bid below that (from an actual bidder), which was not dramatically different from the previous auction, in which it failed to meet reserve.

Small difference, but probably not as significant as what they were seeking.
