6 million what? It’s currently at $33,000 USD (or about 3 million Russian Rubles)

Please forgive me, I have no experience or awareness of how these auctions work, but is there a way to find out what the finishing bids were for the items now that it’s closed?

Some stats

Out of 372 lots, only 4 went unsold (no bidders)

Out of those with bids, only 10 had one bidder. 362 lots had multiple bidders

Based on the prices being bid, I woulda thought it was a whole bunch of bidders, but after seeing this shot, maybe there were just a large handful of big bidders.
