andy beckerdifferent strategies for different situations. in leon's case above that worked for him and ultimately that's all that matters.
i am more inclined to let the bidding go where it may and then decide if i wish to go further. sometimes i win and sometimes i loose. BUT, i never pay more than i am comfortable with paying. i, too, have paid some record prices.
barry,
the fact that you "don't know al from adam" doesn't mean anything.....other than he didn't register for YOUR auction (how dare you al ).
what a pompous statement.
i, too, trust no auction house.....NONE. not even you barry, though your reputation is exemplary. i have never left a ceiling bid, nor will i.....that's just my nature. and i don't think that makes me a bad person, it's my choice.
this is another case of an infrequent poster being rough-road into not posting. shame on us.
