<p>[QUOTE="pprp, post: 3048929, member: 94602"]Funny to see that others have also spotted this bidder alias and bidding behaviour. One aspect I would like to contribute to this discussion, is that everybody assumes bidder Clio is a man. But Clio is a female muse, therefore wouldn't it be more rational that Clio is a woman? </p><p><br /></p><p>I can also confirm that I haven't spotted any collecting theme Clio may have; as long as smth is a bit rare Clio will bid despite the coin being worn, off-centre and so on. Furthermore, it is a bit strange that a person with such loads of money would even care to bid on the last 3 seconds. Then such a consistent bidding at the 2-3 seconds before closure on dozens on lots per auction can only point that it is either done by specialised software or by many proxies-henchmen. I would not exclude the possibility that Clio is actually the alias used by auction houses for coins bought back because the reserve was not met. Did anyone spot coins bought by Clio appearing again in the market?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
