Lo and behold, I got a letter in the mail from Stacks, and found I was successfull on all 24 bids. After the initial excitement waned, I came to the realization, I owed 12K US + fees 10 %= 20K Canadian Dollarso_O Well, after a bit of stress, I managed to pay my invoice and today I am happy to have them in my collection.
