[QUOTE="Irish2Ice, post: 1412661, member: 28761"]Very smart advice Marshall. The most recent auction I went to (and go to yearly) have many of the same collectors each time. THIS time a distant cousin was there selling a few misc. items that were not coins, but said he was there to "watch" items 1-72. Now understand this is a MASSIVE consignment auction that has 4 auctioneers selling at one time. Everything you can imagine is at this place. So back to the story, my cousin had coins 1-72 typed out with "minimum" bids. He was doing the SELLER a "favor" and protecting those coins! The SELLER was a helper with the coin auction so couldn't bid. This same guy had bid me up on several coins the year before..:( bottom line......BUYER BEWARE......... grudge bidding and buying mad because that "one guy" keeps buying everything could very well be overpaying for a reason...and it's not because he like coins[/QUOTE]
