    Default da Vinci painting sells for $450M at auction

    This is a crazy price. Almost half a billion for one painting but that's not the wildest part of this story. Check out the sales history from $10K 12 years ago through a couple of hands including Sotheby's and a law suit!!

    Keep your concentration high and your angles low!

    Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.

    Do you think that I overpaid?

    Stopped bidding as soon as I was told it probably isn't a da Vinci.
