It is ironic when you think of all the hundreds of thousands of medals issued that they are so often desperately fought for these days, Mike you appear to be a "sniper"

The Ceylon MI pair you sniped out of my final bid.
I was sorry to miss it and congratulate you,
this very interesting medal group would have looked good in the 'FSburgher' collection.
Hope to bump into "QSAKSA" person to person some day soon. Happy collecting. Evyn

Well Frank......

I do not consider myself a sniper and have lost many a bid to other people who use that software........

But I just sit and watch the item and maybe if I can afford it put another bid in manually..... I have still lost a number of items even then......

As you know the items that I need now are getting to be fewer and farther between and I am having to pay for them...... The days when I used to go to a show and come home with 8 or 9 QSA's are long gone I am afraid......

Hello Mike,
For so many people, even today, I really do think it is the thrill of the chase that adds to their buy rather than the merely adding another bit silver to their collections, but, yes, it's now getting to be a very expensive game to actually play.
Kind regards Frank
