Hi Patric & C°.
I will admit to being the underbidder here. )-:
I would have bid more, but the postage to Europe (plus importation tax) is substantially more than internal shipping in the US, which tends to moderate my bids somewhat. Anyway, I was off by a reasonable amount, since the buyer had upped his bid three times before my final shot, and I didn't exceed even the lowest of those bids.
Plus, I only really need the bracket. (Well, I don't 'need' anything, it's a nice to have), which also tempers the bidding.
I was leaving it a short while before putting up the same bracket/lamp shots, in case the buyer was on here. I notice the final buyer has previously bought vintage motorcycle parts, so I guess it may be destined for that?
The ID numbers for bidders are randomly allocated to each auction to prevent bidder identification. In the past, bidder's full names were used, so you could see who you were bidding against.
I was surprised by the number of individual bidders, although once we got into three figures, most dropped away.
Until the next time,
Best Regards,
Adrian
