Yeah Floyd that one certainly looked unique It was the chance of a life time and just that one extra dollar could have made it yours :(

Auction psychology is a wonderful thing. For many years I made a living from (real) auctions. The hardest thing as a pro is that you know what things are worth and very often you will be outbid by collectors who do not need to factor in a margin.

With ebay everyone and their dog is viewing, real bargains are rare (usually hidden in job lots) whereas at a real 'non specialist' auction you may be the only person in the room that knows what something is worth. (That's how I got my Les Paul Standard for £18 :cool: )

Try looking out your local auction houses and go along, they are entertaining even if you don't bid.

I don't know if you guys get Quest TV but there is a great series called "Baggage Battles" which follows four people who attend lost property and police auctions around the world. Great fun.

Merry Xmas :eatdrink003:
