<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pprp, post: 4002232, member: 94602&quot;]Most of the greek coins auctioned in Triton went inexplicably high. A few went quite low e.g. the tets of akragas or those of Mende. Some of the punic ones also went low. My biggest surprise was that the group of hektes from Mytilene which were quite ugly in their majority or nothing special in the best case (and IMHO were the weakest coins in this session) went pretty high as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also got zero, although with a different strategy I would have gotten one...</p><p><span style="color: #b30000">WATCH THE LANGUAGE..READ THE RULES!!</span></p><p><br /></p><p>so I underbid and let it go so as to have more budget for a coin getting auctioned later. Which in the end hammered 6 times the estimate and 4 times its prior sale- and of course I failed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tend to believe that Triton is a war of bidder egos and so it is really a roulette if you get something you want or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bidding live software of CNG is pure crap. You need to press twice to place a bid and by the time you do so, your bids are already surpassed by the floor. The auctioneer in the second session at some time got bored and was closing the lots without waiting for internet bids. I lost another possibility because of him.</p><p><br /></p><p>In conclusion Triton= no thanks unless clio and his likes quit business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
