David,
My friends got together and paid my way to the Amber auction in Hyannis, MA. I examined and bid on what they wanted and bought a couple of things for myself. Very exciting five days, John had a wonderful collection. I don’t remember anything going cheap, we all felt that we and everyone else way overpaid, hindsight shows there were some outstanding deals. Two months ago I bought a rifle for about ten times what I stopped bidding on it at the auction for.
