Sorry Kirby, you might be right that dealers do it, but it makes no sense to me. Like someone thinking they got a "bargain"..?
As far as folks tire of their winnings, that's possible, but not the instant they bought it.

Also, every bid in an auction does not represent the highest bid that the winner is prepared to make. But also folks buy things in auctions and then tire of them at times. This is another avenue for Heritage to sell, and for a prospective buyer to make a few bucks if the opportunity presents itself. The bidder can opt out of this program on any given lot - or opt in.

On some items, as soon as the auction is barely over, there appears a link MAKE OFFER TO OWNER, and under it is added " This item's Owner is proactively entertaining Offers". Would anyone care to chip in and explain to me what this is all about? Who are those buyers that turn around and try to sell as soon as they became winners of the item? Are these investors? Dealers? And who is their target audience? Heritage "regulars" who just happen to miss this auction? Because anyone who participated in the auction, already bid as high as they would care to, or so it seems. I don't get it. Can somebody illuminate? Thanks, Zeev _____ <http://www.avast.com/> This email is free from viruses and malware because <http://www.avast.com/> avast!
