Nice bayo's

I would have been happy with the $356 LanCay. I told myself that if it went over $300, which I was sure it would, I would have to pass. I watched it until it ended and came really close to putting in a $375 bid. Just can't spend any more $$ right now. Congrats to all who bid and won those M9's.

I had a look at the clear LanCay auction, which is now over,

and the final price, $ 690.25, is much, much lower than I expected.

Well, the price realized would have been much higher if the seller did not reject all foreign (internatonal) bids. Am not sure if you were paying close attention to this auction earlier on, but, at one point, it was at about $2500 with 4-5 days left. Then the seller let a few international bidders (such as myself) know that he would rather sell it to an American only and cancelled all foreign bids (which was many for this particular auction). That is his perogative and his right -- I will not question it at all. A seller can do as he pleases.

As a result, though, the end selling price was about $2000 less than when he had international bids (which were cancelled). Go figure... since he allowed other nations to bid on his other auctions, just not on the plastic LanCay auction.

I was thinking the same... sure is that allowing international bidders usually increase the final auction price.

[Broad_Arrow]

In one of his emails when I asked permission to bid on the clear plastic LanCay, he implied that it deserved to be kept in America only, but all other M9 bayonets were fair-game for international bidders.

Like I said earlier, the seller can do as he wishes, but he could have made $2000 more by allowing those other bidders.

Well, I assume that the beautiful collection that has been for sale in the last month is just over.
The 2009 is really going to be the M9 year!
Here is a list of all (I hope) the bayonets sold.
