Do you really think there weren't a few other people waiting for the final minutes of that auction? Every day I search the words Legnano, Bianchi, Olmo, Gloria, Wilier, etc. on all national eBay sites using eBay's advanced search. I saw that bike the very first day it was listed, and I imagine others did too.

Don't worry, Morgan. Outing something with the name of the bike right there in the title isn't costing anyone any money.
