[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1327930, member: 26302"]Just thought I would bounce this off you guys. There is an auction coming up next month, and the firm allows internet bidding as well as floor bidding. I looked at the internet bidding, and a good friend is the current high bid. "Good friend" meaning good coin friend, member of my coin club, I join with him to buy books from Europe, Facebook friend, etc. Not a personal friend, (we don't hang out and drink beers). Should I stop pursuing this lot because of this, should I talk to him about it, etc? I know its going to go for much more than current bid, but I would feel bad if in the long run we were the last two bidders. Assuming I win the lot, should I even bring it up at our coin club? I will be using a rep, so there is no way anyone will know I won the lot unless I tell them. He is very much into these coins, but unfortunately so am I. My plan, if I won the lot, was to casually ask him how did he do, and if I hear it went for way over his limit, then would feel comfortable telling him I won them. Just wondering how you guys would handle this. Chris[/QUOTE]
