I emailed the item to a friend and he said there were two private collectors that bid it up and that&#039;s why it went so high. He knows many private collectors and I always make sure I&#039;m never bidding against him, since there are items he is also after. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;d lose everytime so I just stay out of his way, when he bids on something I&#039;d like also. :rolling: Now I know I&#039;m not alone so I expect to get outbid on anything I go after, that&#039;s early colonial. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
