August 31, 200618 yr Author Rob Wigleys got mine now unless that one of them Nobody has responded to the thrust of the thread that it is stupid to bid so early in an auction
August 31, 200618 yr Rob Wigleys got mine now unless that one of them Nobody has responded to the thrust of the thread that it is stupid to bid so early in an auction The thinking is to go in with a strong bid which will automatically put people off bidding
September 20, 200618 yr The thinking is to go in with a strong bid which will automatically put people off bidding I see that John has withdrawn this, due to suspicious bidding activity. Fair play, and credit to John for that. Martyn
September 20, 200618 yr I see that John has withdrawn this, due to suspicious bidding activity. Fair play, and credit to John for that. Martyn Is that on the site Martyn ?
September 20, 200618 yr It is - Saw the bid had ended yesterday - small write up on the disc says owner bidding against others..... Rich
September 20, 200618 yr Is that on the site Martyn ? Yes it says "Auction Closed" 'We have had no alternative but to WITHDRAW this record from our auctions. We have detected the owner is bidding against genuine bidders. We will take all steps necessary to retain this auctions honesty,integrity and reputation and will not hesitate to withdraw any item we feel has had false bids placed on it.' Martyn

Wondered who one of the bidders was. Didn't recall that username bidding before, but the other bidder is a big buyer of the more expensive sounds. Could be a bigger mystery than Big Sam
September 20, 200618 yr Did this not hit seven grand??? oh what i could buy with that kinda money and more than one record...lol still each to his own i guess? Mark Bicknell.
September 20, 200618 yr Think its fair to say that all the flack that flies around dealers auctions is well summised by the fact that JM closed the auction (thru detection or other means) even though the legit. bidder was matching the bids. Credit where credits due. Rich

September 20, 200618 yr Its a pity John didn't close the auction early with the owner winning, then charge the 10% or whatever it is commision before letting him have it back, an easy £700 I reckon
