<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2849140, member: 19463&quot;]That brings up a question of whether there will be much effect on our hobby due to the hurricanes.&nbsp; Obviously there are quite a few collectors with more pressing concerns than following lots closing on eBay in the next few days.&nbsp; I doubt it would have any effect on a small show in Pennsylvania but eliminating an underbidder in a high level sale closing tomorrow would make a bargain for someone and a poor payout for someone else.&nbsp; I received word today that a non-coin item I ordered from a seller would not be coming and my payment was refunded.&nbsp; The seller was from Texas.&nbsp; Obviously our first concern is the physical and emotional well being of our friends in the path but the effect on us all is something we will not realize fully for quite some time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The evening news here had a piece on Florida Nursing Homes that were not evacuating.&nbsp; It seems that a study showed that the death/hospitalization rates of very elderly and Alzheimer&#039;s residents evacuated before major storms was greater than the number of people left in place.&nbsp; There is no &#039;win&#039; in this.&nbsp; I hope the show was a major success.&nbsp; I&#039;m glad it was in Pennsylvania.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
