Would the jerks who are bidding on the Merc that I have bid upon in the Heritage auction PLEASE stop??!! You keep running my bid higher!! 
And, I surely won't tell which coin it is because then I know I'd run the real risk of you guys bidding, so I guess you have to stop bidding on them all!! 
More seriously, the one coin I am bidding on is quite a bit higher than its recent prices on Heritage auctions. It's not a lot of money by TDN standards... but it is by mine.
So, what do you think of the bids on the Mercs to date: High, low, or in the middle?

that's my Merc your bidding on so stop it right now or else
Seriously, the ones I'm chasing are well over what I had in mind to pay - there is definently a strong interest in Merc's lately

Well, I'm on top of "my" coin right now, so if you are on top of your coin, then we know we aren't busting each other's chops.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Did win a Colored Dime tonight from Heritage. Just hope it looks as I think it will. The Heritage pictures are a crap shoot at best.

Mark,
I really hope you got at least one of the merc's you were bidding on because I basically got outbid by miles last few hours - I don't believe I am high bidder on anything altogether
On a similar note - if they don't update the sheets its weird - I don't recall getting much anything last few months now even close to bid/ask values etc. Everything is way over - especially the nice stuff. I've seen over Coin World trends too.
AN example would be the 26-D in 64FB its at $750 tonite post internet bidding - while trends has it @ $475. , the blue sheet has it for what $310 or something??

The coin I am bidding on hit the max of my bid, so I do have the high bid as the coin goes to the floor tonight. But, good grief--my bid is about $300 more than any of the previous prices Heritage had listed, and $300 is about 30% over the previous prices. I figured I had the coin won without any sweat. I like the coin, but I sure didn't figure that it was so "PQ" that anyone else was willing to pay 30% more than previous prices. I think it is just a decent, nice coin. I put in a bid that I thought was high because it upgrades a coin in my set and I can give the current coin to my son for his collection so I was killing two birds with one bid. Ah well, we'll see what happens!
How about the rest of the Merc collectors--is anyone bidding on the dimes? And do the bids seem extremely aggressive to you?

Mark - I won one lot only from heritage sale all else totally outbid - hope you got what you had your eyes on.
I did add 3 super dupers in private sales last few days I'll probably add them on tonite - don't think I'll pass anyone though.
Will the Jerks now come out of the closet please?
Marc
still looking for a nice 27-s, anyone have one for sale

I am totally confused whether or not I won a Merc in the Heritage auction. The closing Internet bid was equal to my maximum bid, so I assumed it was my bid. But then I received an email saying I had been outbid. However when I looked on the "My Bids" page of Heritage, my bid was still listed as a high. Finally on Heritage's prices realized page, the amount of my maximum bid shows as winning the lot. So, I am totally confused whether I won or not. Time will tell.
But Marc, I also got totally demolished on some other patterns. I had bid on some cent patterns but I wasn't even the underbidder to the underbidder to the underbidder to the underbidder!
Mark
P.S.: There sure were a lot of jerks bidding!
I resemble that remark
