Strange coincidence...I only made one absentee bid and won......on a point blank quad. But seriously I never buy at the London auction, shipping alone has to be expensive especially when something goes for 400 to 600 pounds.

To try to liven things up - anyone go to the Christies auction in London yesterday? I only made one absentee bid (lost, on Point Blank quad), but I wished I had made the effort to go in person as bidding was apparently very slow.
