<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MarcusAntonius, post: 7615587, member: 119121&quot;]Haha, I believe the auction house will embrace you. During the auctions did it happen a few times that I was the highest bidder, I won but later on the coin went to another bidder. So I got fooled by the webclient. It also happened that I got outbid, I stopped bidding when I thought that the max was reached by reason and let the other bidder win the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did it occur that I received a telephone call a month later, I was the winning bidder... How I did want it shipped? I did try to explain that there must have been a mistake, somebody else won the lot. Was I fooled by the webclient again or was the winning bidder not as serious... Anyhow the coin is at my desk in the envelope and I did not pay one Swiss Franc till so far... Off course will I pay them. Just amazing how things can go, auction software is not free of bugs and people working for auctioneers make just so any mistakes as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last month was I bidding on a rare and expensive coin, a stunner, did I receive an e-mail of being outbid. A few second later a confirmation of my new maximum secret bid... What happened they received a fax with a bid, when they confirmed it did they send it accidentally to the counter bidder (me) instead of the highest bidder. When I called the auction house with this mistake they were not amused, showed great gratitude to come forward with this. I am invited to visit the family, once I travel to their country![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
