Title: Re: Auctioneer's Estimate a Little Low?

Agreed that the estimates are irrelevant. I watched these, and was also disappointed there were so many bidders. Hoped I'd bag an early weekend bargain. ::)

Looks like both of these brought good money.

I would be interested to know what others that are more knowledgeable than me think.

I was hoping those with more knowledge were not watching the auction, but not too much sneaks by anymore  :D

I feel that "estimates" are irrelevant. All that matters is the hammer price.

True, but usually the "estimates" are sky high on these kind of items  :D
