Must been some copys being found then or ?? (maybe in Sussex ?? :fool: )

don´t think three at the same time would part with theirs or ?? wasn´t it only 3-5 known copies known before or so ??

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

I see that John has withdrawn this, due to suspicious bidding activity.

Fair play, and credit to John for that.

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.'

Thanks Martin.

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

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?

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.

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
