<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7514718, member: 86498&quot;]I believe that I have asked auction houses twice to rescind my bids. This is over a forty year period. I cannot remember the circumstances of the transactions however I can say that in both cases they did so and I had no problem afterwards. I suspect if I made a habit of it,&nbsp; that could be a problem. Another option would be to ask for some more time. About three years ago I went to London to attend COINEX. Naturally I went to all the shops and spent way too much money. When I came back the transmission of my 2012 Cruze died and I was confronted with a massive unexpected bill.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> About the only thing that saved me was that I had a small emergency fund that covered about a third of what I needed to pay to get the car back on the road. </p><p>&nbsp; I really had to scramble and since I had picked up some of the coins on credit,<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I had to cash in some currency I had been saving up for a trip to Germany<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but still that was not enough.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I had to contact them and ask for some extra time. All were okay with that and I survived. I even managed to recover enough to go to the NYINC<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. However since then I have maintained a dedicated maintenance fund to cover future misadventures of this kind.&nbsp; Every month I have an automatic withdrawal from my pension into this account so in a way I never see it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;However one of the problems of owning these really expensive cars is that they assume you can pay for the maintenance. My friend used to lease a Jaguar and what he had to pay for an oil change ..<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
