  No returns = No bids

  I thought that Morphy was more of a collectibles type auction house. They have been around for awhile.

  Thanks all for the info. I wasn't interested in anything, just curious.
  
  
  Hey Tom. How's it going? I pop on now and then, mostly then.

  I expect that they obtained your information from any business you had done with Legend since they were the auction house that Legend teamed up with a few years ago when Legend attempted to enter the auction business.

  Those guys are back?
  
  They want to be coin dealers in the worst way. They should stick to their tin toys.

  I haven't heard that. The last time I looked, they were one of the preeminent auction houses for antique toys, banks, collectibles, etc.
