I had my eye on that one but the bidding just got too much for me.

[Victor]

I was a little interested, but not as interested as the bidding went up. Though, the price wasn't that high, merely a little high. My bids were not submitted anyway, because Sixbid has some sort of glitch, so I guess I am glad I didn't really want this coin and bid much higher.

Victor ... do you ever bid through Biddr? I know they have the Naumann live auction on their platform. I've only had good experiences with Biddr (especially when they have they have the live auction on their platform, ie Naumann, Savoca, etc).

[Victor]

Yes, I use Biddr, Sixbid and Numisbids...most of the same auction sites on each, but a few are only on one. I have bid through Sixbid dozens of times, though, and this has never happened before. I have actually been using Biddr more often recently, but they are side by side on my bookmarks bar and this time I went to Sixbid.
