.
On Monday X Japan Crystal Piano Japan Relief Auction Relaunched After Bogus Bids Discovered was a top story. Here is the recap: (HER) Yoshiki, leader of X Japan, the biggest rock band in Japan, put his "crystal" piano, a see-through Plexiglas Kawai grand, up for auction on April 17 to raise money for the Japan Relief Fundraising Auction in conjunction with Yahoo! Japan. About eight minutes into the auction, the bid shot from $.01 to $42,000.00; within hours, an online bidder pledged a staggering $73-million. On Tuesday, 4/19, Yahoo! Auctions temporarily suspended he auction, citing an overload of unexpected high volume of traffic on the site, high bidding prices, and the time required for bidder confirmation procedures. Yahoo! Auction's systems have now been restructured, new bidding policies are in place, and Yahoo! has identified the last confirmed bid for the piano as $512,231.70. - more on this story
