<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8276028, member: 19463&quot;]I have similar questions which I expect to be blown off by those in the business.&nbsp; If the winner refused to pay for the coin (or was unable) or if he had bid under some sort of purchase limit through which his winning bid was canceled, I would expect not only his winning bid to be erased but all of his lower bids that pushed you up to the level of your last bid.&nbsp; If the two of you were the only bidders on the lot, you might have won it at start but allowing his fake bids considerably increased the realization.&nbsp; Of course erasing those bids would do wrong to the consignor since someone else might have bid against you had they not seen the unbeatable winner was bidding.&nbsp; It would seem a &quot;can&#039;t win&quot; situation.&nbsp; I would have in the very least thought it appropriate for you to be contacted by the house and had the situation explained offering you options rather than just adding the coin to your tab.&nbsp; Problems like this are part of any business dealing and how they are handled show us who are the professionals and who are not worthy of long term patronage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
