    More than happy to be proven wrong TIF. :)
    When I start feeling better, I think I will drink a nice Syrah to celebrate ;).

    I think prices seem higher, but I still wait in the bushes to ambush the weary unseen and lonely coin.

    well, if we're staking claims, then I'd like to yell "dibs" on all animal-coins!!

    Sometimes I dress as the big bad wolf, sometimes as little red riing hood (not a pretty site)

    Yeah, but it scares other bidders away. Whatever works, right?

    I got Clio'ed on the one tetradrachm I placed a bid on. Normally when I want to win a lot bad enough I place a fairly high bid. This time I was on the fence about the coin and placed a below market price bid on it - and lost to Clio. I won't make that mistake on a CNG auction again!

    This is the first time I've encountered this bidder. Lesson learned.

    Agora auctions now live, you don't have to wait on Clio to out bid you, you can BIN for about double of the opening bid...:eek:

    TIF Always learning.

    Yeah, their estimates are always eye-popping. But on the plus side, I agree with Eng... you're unlikely to get Clioed in an Agora auction. :D.
