Sure...BUT what about the person that noticed the recently ended eBay sale of a REGENCY HOLDER...just the day prior!!! Certainly enough time for the seller to see it here or ATS and decide not to ship it. People that notice a Cherrypick after the fact and post about it here can ruin it for others. It isn't JUST about a buyer keeping his/her mouth shut. >>
<< <i>Interesting ... another poster in the past didn't want people to share "cool" items being auctioned in a public venue because it may cause people to be interested in them and become his/her competitor. So ... we are asked not to share beforehand and now wait a period of time afterwards until we can discuss certain auctions?
Who will alert us to what auctions and transactions can be discussed? In addition to the Circle of Trust, do we now need a Circle of Censorship?
Perhaps the concept of an open, public forum is somewhat confusing.
No offense to cherrypickers out there (and good for you if you find something), but if you make a great find ... don't post it until you want it to go public. If it appears because somebody found it interesting, then those are the breaks. >>
Nah, just a circle of delay, LOL.
I think the OP is asking people to clam up about it just cuz they saw it. I would hope the winner/high bidder would not post about it here.

+1, and some here openly admit to this practice. IMHO, it's not a true cherry pick when you guess and you're wrong, only to return the item at the sellers expense. >>

Huh? What kind of pretzel-logic is this? >>
If you guess wrong it isn't a cherrypick. Simply because you suddenly can't earn a "You Suck" isn't IMO a legitimate cause to send the coin back.
Live by the cherry; die by the cherry.
Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

I doubt THAT seller peruses this site/board.
