No, no, you have it backwards. Since you bid in HO dollars, and HO scale is 1/87 of full scale, $25 HO dollars would be equivalent to....(drum roll please), $2,175 in full-scale dollars.
Lucky, like Mike, you didn't bid in N scale dollars, that would come to $4,000. I know some might think this one-off mug can skyrocket in price on eBay, but we'll just accept a reasonable bid at this time. So, we will overlook these calculations and assumptions and accept your bid of $25 in real, 1:1 US dollars.
Thank you Mike and Charlie, this auction is fun, but this kinda makes it even funner...
