Anybody at Skinner's Auction last weekend?

[VANDOO]

I THOUGHT THE TEETH WERE CROCKODILE BUT COULDN'T TELL FOR SURE, IT WAS INTERESTING SEEING THE OTHER EXAMPLE WHICH WAS MISSING ITS BALL TO SEE HOW IT WAS ATTACHED. BEING A COLLECTER AND NOT A SELLER I CAN'T BID SUCESSFULLY AGAINST DEALERS ON MOST LOTS AS I WON'T BE GETTING ANY MONEY BACK FROM SALES. THE AUCTION HOUSES HIGH CHARGES ALSO CAUSE MY BIDS TO BE LOWER FOR A ITEM, IF I CAN AFFORD $300.00 FOR IT I HAVE TO BID LESS THAN $300.00 ON IT AND STILL END UP PAYING THREE OR MORE. I DID HAVE FUN BIDDING AND DIDN'T RUN IT UP ON ANYONE AS MOST OF MY BIDS WERE NOT CLOSE TO THE TOP, I WAS HOPEING FOR A CRUMB THOUGH. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO HOCK MY COLLECTION IF I HAD WON ALL I BID ON
IT IS ALWAYS HARD TO BID YOUR TOP DOLLAR ON A ITEM YOU CAN'T SEE AND HOLD AND WITH THE HIGH AUCTION COMISSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS FROM A" SKINNER" WAS A BIT INTIMIDATING
SINCE RETIREMENT I AM VERY LOW END AND NO THREAT TO DEALERS OR COLLECTORS, BUT LOOK OUT IF I EVER GET SOME BIG MONEY
