It is probably another case of people being gunshy about talking about hot items in auction that are not complete. Too many times, posts here seem to drive added actions to the auctions, so people that truely interested in items just won't talk about them anymore until the auction is over. And as is the case with Trevor and his ambrotype, people aren't even talking about recent wins until they get the item in hand because of fears the unscrupulous members of the board will try to make a backdoor offer the item.

Because of the highly competative nature of rare items, I son't even worry about discussion of these items turning up and auctions are closed and items are in hand. It's become the nature of the beast, which is kind of sad.

If you can sue a band for making you want to commit suicide, can I sue Barry Manilow for turning me into a wuss in the 70s?
