    In fact, announce the results over the P.A. system so everyone at shows can hear them.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Um...no.
    If some nimrod announces what I won over the PA and for how much... their butt will be getting sued off if/when I get rolled out in the parking lot or I get followed home.

    I said announce the prices; I didn't say anything about the buyers.
    When in doubt, don't.

    100% disagree. If people like a coin they will still pay up regardless of what seller paid. Knowledge is key---you can't keep people in the dark, so you can make a buck....that is ridiculous and will never happen.

    Someone with basic observation skills could figure it out. It's bad enough as it is... like at a recent local gathering when a couple of guys hit me up as I'm leaving the floor auction wondering if I want to flip the item I just won.
    It's a flat out bad idea IMO and I would hesitate to bid in an auction that announced winning amounts over a PA at the time of the auction. Someone wants to know prices realized so badly, they can get them from the auction company... post-auction.
