The Biding is heating up.... I still say Russ will snipe it from himself with 2 seconds on the clock!

eminem · December 8, 2002 8:08PM

where else can russ get all those high grade kennedies in one shot!!!

LucyBop · December 8, 2002 8:16PM

I still say the seller is questionable to say the least, why he has one big fat negative, a questionable return policy and doesn't allow us good buyers to use our credit cards!

BigD5 · December 8, 2002 8:56PM

And Russ is moving on to which series?

LucyBop · December 8, 2002 8:57PM

He seems to be buying way too many proof Frankies! I'll have to keep my eye on him!

Placid · December 9, 2002 4:29AM

I wonder why he is selling? He bought a pr67cam 1964 kennedy sunday

Russ · December 9, 2002 4:34AM

<< <i>He bought a sms67cam 1965 kennedy sunday >>

I edited it

Why are you selling your fine collection? Bored,profit?

Russ · December 9, 2002 4:40AM

Placid,

I like hunting and building.

It's my second set, anyway.

Russ, NCNE

presleyh · December 9, 2002 4:41AM

Russ is bidding on it but is still about $6000.00 short. (the 65 sms ms67)

KlectorKid · December 9, 2002 4:43AM

Is it your second collection your seling or the whole taco (i cant spell any other mexican food.)

Russ · December 9, 2002 4:54AM

KlectorKid,

No tacos, just coins.

Russ, NCNE

KlectorKid · December 9, 2002 4:55AM

enchaladas?

Placid · December 10, 2002 5:50AM

3-1/2 more hrs.

PhillyJoe · December 10, 2002 8:15AM

No one would ever think for a moment that I'm impartial, but I think that is a great looking set for the money. The albums are a great addition. While the hunt is fun it's is also time consuming and many times frustrating. Russ can be kinda picky when it comes to these coins and I have to think that these are the best to be found in the grade. IMHO.

This is the mental picture I got of Russ right now:

He is nervously sitting staring at this auction, then he gets up and paces back and forth,
He then sits again twiddling his fingers with beads of sweat around his forehead,
He then gets up and franticly paces back and forth again while looking at his watch,
He then sits at his computer again and takes a big drink of coffee, waiting to snipe his own auction with 2 seconds on the clock.

CLASSICS · December 10, 2002 8:33AM

sell them all

, and buy two cent pieces

paigowjohnny · December 10, 2002 8:34AM

Geez, now even I'm curious....dying to know what the reserve is....

Bear · December 10, 2002 9:15AM

Russ - Just stay tuned to this Forum, we will keep you informed

as to what you are doing from day to day. No charge.

LucyBop · December 10, 2002 9:15AM

Yikes! 8 minutes left!!!!!

JamieB · December 10, 2002 9:22AM

Yikes 1.5 minutes.... We'll see who is lurking for a last minute bid.

KlectorKid · December 10, 2002 9:24AM

It over! and no one wins!

JamieB · December 10, 2002 9:24AM

I wonder if Russ will make a deal with dheath@triad.rr.com .

We will have to wait and see.

LucyBop · December 10, 2002 9:25AM

Well what a boring finish!!!!! Now what will Russ do???????? Re-list? Accept high bidders offer? Hmmmmm... Mystery and intrigue abound.

DCAMFranklin · December 10, 2002 9:28AM

I wonder if that high bidder was just one bid short of hitting that reserve? How did he know?

presleyh · December 11, 2002 11:37AM

I thought it was gone this time. The bid darn close to the bin. Will it come back on the market?

MastaHanky · December 11, 2002 11:41AM

<< I wonder if Russ will make a deal with dheath@triad.rr.com. >>

I believe that person is actually a member of the boards.

If not, I know I've done some kind of business with him...

robertpr · December 11, 2002 11:37PM

Directly from my CU->eBay page (linked in my sig line),
DHeath dheath@triad.rr.com DHeath on the NGC forums, too.
Yes, he's a board member.

Now, I was shocked to say the least to see this auction! Russ????

DHeath · December 11, 2002 11:55PM

Russ is tough. I'll admit I had larceny in my heart with my bid, but I've seen most of that that collection one coin at a time as he knocked them off my watch list with last minute snipes. If it was his #1 set instead of his #2 set, I'd have BINd'. Who knows, I just may end up with them anyway some day.

Russ · December 12, 2002 2:43AM

Well, the set has now been retired from the current finest, so somebody else got to move up to the first page.
