I just had it happen to me with a large group of Russian bronzes, they went for 1/5 of what I would have bid. If it makes you feel better, just say to yourself the winning bidder had bid 20k so you wouldn't have won it anyway. :) Sometimes that helps me. Btw, is the St Louis world's fair stuff reasonable? I have always loved that one for all of the US food that originated at that fair. It seems half our menu either first appeared there, or was popularized there. Chris[/QUOTE]
