Any idea if those 2 buyers are going to sell the lots they bought or are they for their collections?

More power to those folks. 2 buyers each spent almost 500K each on keybook & top quality stills lots If you didn't go to the pre view you didn't know what there was. I was there and there was a lot of great stuff to be had. some of it I won and Sean too who I was also bidding for but yes. in general the prices were high unless you really examined the lots like Sean & I did and Heritage and several other buyers to be honest.. Ihope we see another auction like it sometime soon Rich================= At 11:05 AM 12/15/2008, Bubba Despres wrote: >I am just wondering if anyone would like to comment on the >outrageous prices paid by some people on this past weekends Profiles >In History auction. > >I only won one lot and the other ones I though I bid extremely high >on, only to be outbid. > >Anyone else have a similar experience?? > >Louie > > Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com > ___________________________________________________________________ > How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List > > Send a message addressed to: [email protected] > In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L > > The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
