Hope you guys don;t mind the color commenting, but with current low-assed bid of $15K w/only 3 days remaining, I'm starting to think bottom feeder guesses might have the upper hand on this Auction?
Good luck everyone!

Well Groove, I often see these auctions jump by 100% or more in those last "2" minutes. So I still stand by my guess. It'll inch up. But it always boils down to having the right 2 or 3 people in the room who want it.

My guess for $33,250 on post 4660 (1/8/2021) was dropped by the next person for some reason. I hate to do this but Wolfsburgde probably should pick a new number...

edit: On second thought, I'm happy to share my guess with Wolfsburgde, wasn't his fault that my guess was dropped. We are probably both wrong anyway

LOL "Ruling"


Without me going back and seeing how it was dropped, he said it wasn't Wolfsburgde's fault.

But, how is it not his fault if it was dropped and not caught immediately afterward?

I always hit "Refresh" and do my Copy / Paste, make my guess, Post, and then hit refresh again and double check the one above me to make sure it was the one I quoted.

I certainly don't want to see him lose his guess, but that's kinda a rule if it was a legit "drop" and no correction.

So, What's everyone think?
