[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3121006, member: 71723"]This auctioneer has a hard and fast rule - first timers must pay cash. But they did have an ATM in town. But I am a very disciplined bidder. I ALWAYS pay cash, and I leave my cards at home. My budget was the green I had in my wallet. So I did the math. I knew I brought between $300 and $400, but did not know the exact number. So I did the math and decided I was ready to spend myself to $0.00 if I caught the right lot. That number turned out to be $157.50. The following went for much more than my budget, but I had bid on them: 1931S NGC-MS65 BuffNick 1941 NGC-PF66 JeffNick 1924 Raw-MS64 Huguenot Half 1926 Raw-MS63 Oregon Trail 1935 Raw-MS63 Boone 1917 Var.1 MS60 Standing Lib Three other higher quality Capped Bust Dimes. And there were few lesser pieces that just went too high for what they were, including the 1940 proof Lincoln. So I looked down the sheet, shrugged, and decided to hit the grocery store, and I did. I wasn't liking the trend. Bargains were getting fewer and farther between.[/QUOTE]
