Being a nice guy and all that isn’t bad but if your primary objective is to purchase the uniform, well… I think she didn’t do right by you the way she handled it…. unless you had told her otherwise, you should have had first crack at it. But maybe she didn’t look at you as a serious buyer and more as just a sympathetic ear for other things. Just food for thought, nothing done wrong by her or you…. but I can identify with this scenario from past experiences and hope others will see this and take it as opinion but meaning well . Again, sorry about the loss of your friend. Rocky

Thank you, Rocky. She was a very nice lady, and although we never actually met in person, I felt that we did develop a friendship which initially started over discussions about the Uniform. I had hoped that she would give me first crack at it, but perhaps her health failed so much in her last few months that she just decided it was easier to go the auction house route.
