Chris, I think you made a comment on another brewery stein that sold for much more than this one. For those that don't remember, check out the thread "Wow! What a price! Chris 11/11/2007 " in the Steintalk archives for (July - Dec, 2007). The pictures are gone, but can be seen in an article on the stein in the March 2008 Prosit. As for this stein, three people asked the seller to stop the auction. One of them collects brewery steins from the Köln area which includes Mülheim. Another one makes the comment that that brewery was only in existence for a short time. All it takes is two collectors who "need" the piece for their collection to drive the price way up.
