The last thing us colonials need is an ‘x’ beside any lot to make the purchase any more expensive mainly due to the exchange rate. I have been quiet on the purchases from the UK for that reason. Decisions, decisions, have ago at SPINK or wait for Nobles?

I remember a poster being available when I was at university entitled 'Decisions, decisions, decisions' showing a picture of a woman, a sports car and a bottle of wine (looking back it was a very sexist poster). I was thinking we should replace those images with three QSAs :)

I thought it had become unfashionable to exploit Colonials? What is the justification in this instance?

Was the particular woman, featured upon the poster, pretty?

It was a great two days, but, regarding attendance, I think that the only way to be absolutely sure if you want a particular lot , is to actually be in the saleroom on the day in question, failing that, I prefer the telephone rather than the internet, although, the latter has not failed me yet, however, there is always the chance that it might.

It would be interesting to see how attending in person and bidding online affects people's bids.

Frank, yes to your first question.

I am not sure what I would do if the internet disconnected during online bidding. It has never happened so far thankfully.
