Saw that there were quite a few OWS badges appearing in the past few weeks , didn't check if it was the same seller splitting a collection or simply one badge getting 'big money' and other sellers/dealers trying to jump on the bandwagon.

There are a couple of buyers willing to pay silly money that end up in a bidding war and drive prices up to ridiculous levels. This has a knock on effect with other sellers expecting to get similar high prices.

I always have my own 'limit' , the last two items I got for a reasonable price because I was the only bidder . But I also missed out on a couple because it was obvious that some other bidders had set a high maximum bid and I wasn't willing to 'try' and outbid them.

PS. I normally do a bit of research to find the 'average' prices and to see what dealer sites are charging.
