Does anyone have a link to who were the bidders?  The quantity of bidders and any description of who they represent?

That information has never been released, and the USMS says it won't be. 

After the first auction, someone submitted a FOIA request to the USMS for them to release that information (FOIA = US Freedom of Information Act).  The last news I read, a couple of months later, were that the request was still unanswered (thus stretching if not violating the FOIA).


Yes, when the government is involved, then there is a public interest involved regarding the transparency of the process, and if the information is not going to be released, then a prompt and reasonable explanation concerning why should be provided.
