    wait the shocked salesperson survived because live gets to mean deal when the only thing separating Florida guy from QVC is whether the countdown resets after someone bids the margin back to retail. that's not even auction energy, that's Twitch donation mechanics doing so much lift that winning just becomes whatever you paid full price for when the theater already said limited.
