    Laurent - Congratulations, a beautiful medal!

    I got the one I wanted also - French Medal I almost cut the snipe too close on this one image A little too close to the waterline for comfort.

    You both had the same back bidder. He must be really fuming about now.image

    Very nice bidding -- and Laurent thought rmtd58 was such a canny bidder!! Those are the first times I've seen Tonivon bid.

    Both medaqls are great-congratulations to both of you !



    << <i>You both had the same back bidder. He must be really fuming about now. >>



    I wish I could believe this; but the same underbidder (with zero feedback) in two auctions by the same seller indicates other things to me image

    Also (without any disrespect),I've noticed that Laurent placed a second higher bid at some moment without having been outbid; I'd suggest to avoid this in the future: it only shows how much you want the item.
    I think it should only be used for intimidation purposes at the end of some auctions (a last resort trick image)

    Actually, when someone double-bids like that at the end it tells me the other bidders were getting close to his bid, so he upped it a modest amount.
