<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3183920, member: 88829&quot;]This isn&#039;t where I want to leave this.&nbsp; The final prebidding had risen to 525EUR a few days before the sale.&nbsp; On sale day, four bids were placed: one advance over 525, </p><p>immediately countered by an incremental bid I am inclined to attribute to the pre-bid high bidder; </p><p>then another advance to 575, </p><p>and a final immediate counter to 625 at the new incremental advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>This pattern suggested to me that on the day of the sale another bidder was bidding against a large bid previously left with the house that covered all challenges in late pre-bidding and from the floor.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I&#039;m right about this it seems entirely likely that the coin was purchased by Clio, with an unmatched high bid given to the house in pre-bidding.&nbsp; Not the same strategy normally used in time limited auctions, but easily within renge for him.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of unprovable suppositions, I agree, but a consistent scenario.&nbsp; If correct, no one on the list was going to succeed in buying this coin.&nbsp; I doubt that the final buyer was influenced by the Cointalk chat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
