Here's the start of the story on SI.com:

"The helmet that Robby Gordon threw at Michael Waltrip was temporarily pulled off the online auction site eBay on Wednesday after bidding exceeded $10 million.

The site ended the auction because it was unable to verify the legitimacy of the bids and because Gordon didn't have the proper documentation showing that he planned to donate the proceeds of the sale to charity, eBay spokesman Hani Durzy said.

The helmet was re-listed late Wednesday night with the assistance of AuctionCause, a company known for helping in fund-raising efforts with experience in prequalifying bidders."

Interesting... The auction is back down to $51,100 with a little over 13 hours to go. Not uncommon for these type of auctions though as the seller works to determine the legitimacy of the bidders.

Well, the auction ended at the $51,100 amount - down just a little from the $10 million amount. laugh.gif
