Recently owner driver medallions sold @ $1050000. 9 sold in January in private sales.
Most certainly some 9 people who plunked down just over a million in January are kicking themselves in their rear ends as sre yesterday's high bidders. I don't know how it works iif winners back out. There are 17 bids of lrss than $805000 in reserve. The March auction will be real interesting. Don't forget that NYC is counting on the successful auctioning of 1631 more medallions.
