I can't believe what I'm hearing....

If his sin is
that he is wealthy enough to be the high bidder in an auction, then,
Stan, my hat is doffed to you!

aven
sakes, do it for the right reasons, NOT because he is wealthy. Are
they smiles I see on the faces of Marx, Lenin and Stalin down there?
Hi Roger -
If the person doing the bidding was an ordinary citizen,
I would not care what he/she bid and on what. But a
dealer has a special responsibility of not giving even
the slightest hint of manipulating the market, especially
for a collectible like a Leica. Exactly what Marx, Lenin
and Stalin did (maybe not for collectibles but for other
stuff) and maybe that's why they're smiling!
Enough of this. 'Hope that all the buyers are happy
with their purchases. Let's get back to taking pictures.
