Actually I am and you say that it went for 9K plus fees? Wow.

 

Clio once again...

 

Did anyone ask the Rabbit who he would like his fate sealed by - the Owl or the Pussycat ? Anyway, that film should gain Coin Talk a few more members !

 

That's a perfect metaphorical explanation of the last few seconds when lots close. And the owl is none other than you know who. And we're all the poor pussycats

 

Anyone else get Clio'd today? I enjoy the thread as it is enlightening as to what his trends might possibly be. Today he sniped me on a tetradrachm with a rare mintmark, at roughly 5 seconds before closing. I am certain he has written specific software to snipe with at least one auction company. I did win two subsequent lots but within 3 seconds of closing.

 

I did not bid this time around, however I have recently bid at Christie's and Skinners' "online only" auctions. They both use a system that gives an expiry time for the lot, but any bids in the last minute result in 5 minutes added to the expiry time.

Needless to say, I did not get a chance to live like a Rockefeller (Christies) but I did figure out how to win a couple of nice bronze statues from Skinner using this format. As I bid at Christies live (the premier lots,) I realized the rooms were full of Clios. A $3k estimate item sold for over $1.5 Million. We losers of the live auction sought refuge in the online only auction. We slaughtered each other in that one.

Sniping would have been a mercy but Sniping SW is of little use with this other system. It requires a modified strategy and creates a different type of angst.

 

Yeah, I believe that too. Given who he is, why wouldn't he have some custom code to snipe at any site he wishes.

I was going to go after a couple of individual lots, but in the end just bid on the group of Kushan coins from the author of the new ANS Kushan book. I did win that.
