I agree! We don’t want bidders like Rumsey.2007 who is fairly new, and seems to have legit funds to not be able to bid. That bidder has had enormous legit bids and that is good for Windstone and good for collectors.
I think the way Melody and staff are handling this is perfect. Let the next highest bidder have a crack at the piece.
My problem with the Silver SK, was that I was #3 and the #2 bidder was trying to win the bid over #1. So I didn’t want to get stuck with a much inflated price if #2 and me #3 all got in a war with possibly bogus #1.
Exactly my point. Not that I want Windstone to go broke or anything, but if fraudulent bidders get into a war, it could cause the rest of us to pay artificially inflated prices.
Geez, I sound like a real witch, don’t I? 😛

I noticed the two newest SKs have an interesting winning bidder.
The question I have is: that bidder, IF fraudulent, made quite a number of bids and bumped up the price to the winning one. For the second chance bidder, would they be offered their (pumped up) highest bid, or a price reflecting the removal of the fraudlulent several bids leading up to the final battle?
I’m just curious. Hope my question made sense.

She is quite pretty. I always liked the silver color that Melody came up with. It’s so soothing. Good luck to whoever is bidding!
