I actually ended up being the high bidder after all -- hope there's no hard feelings Primarch.
I do feel stupid for bringing the auction back to everybody's attention, and then bidding at the last minute, although I really hadn't planned on bidding. I hope no one else was seriously trying to get this model.
I didn't think I could persuade my wife into letting me bid, and it turns out that A) she wants to try the AMTL list and wants "a really big titan", and B) she was so happy I was able to recover 90% of the files off of her crashed laptop hard drive that she gave me the go-ahead, so how could I argue with that?

I'll be putting some old CCG stuff on eBay to offset some of the cost, that's for sure
