Hi Coinfriends,
Although I buy every now and then on so called impulse coins haha.

Today I won 7 of those so called impulse coins on auction http://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=1802 the weird part was that they (auctionhouse) sold very poorly never higher than the minimum bid.

I bid 7x minimum bid hoping to catch 1 or 2 not all 7
