Now, had MK had a management with do-ers they would have  arranged to stream another single from the new album.

If you believe Christies then that would have broken the internet completely  :D

Now MK will be forever known as the guy who broke Christie's. Only 2.2K people watching online and even fewer people bidding are not impressive numbers, I'm shocked it was too much for them though.

Well, yes. You’d think they’d have the appropriate systems in place for just such an eventuality.

Mark's nephew is broadcasting the auction on his Pentium III Compaq notebook. The BG sound system is mixed and sended to the notebook's  soundboard.

The sale will start at 3pm London time
As I will be bidding, Christie's called to advise, apologize for the delay and check I'm still ok to bid.

Is that after 2hrs of blank screen and does it include those watching via their smart TVs?  I suppose most watchers will just be the hardcore fans tbh.  The rest will just be interested in what the big ticket items sold for.
