Here’s a glimpse into the auction hall, when the frozen donkey wheel was being sold. Lots of empty seats — it looks like most of the action was taking place on the internet:

I thought the auctioneer was terrible and boring
That’s too bad. Watching it at home, I didn’t get to hear the auctioneer — what we saw was the auction screen, but without any sound. Maybe that was for the best.
I just heard him on video. Yup, it sounded pretty dull.
