With regrets, yes. I got caught up in the "Ebay
aution hype-fever" and think I paid much more for this
than what I ought to have spent.

But there was no other choice. That is the way Arnold
wanted to sell it, via Ebay, and it was at that time
the only Chassigny thin slice available, and I don't
think that there have been any since.

I "won" it by putting in a very high price at the very
last seconds of the auction.

And the "auction hype-fever" that I got involved in
(my fault and failing) is one of the many reasons I
hate Ebay.
