Yep those chancers, they get everywhere! They have been around for a long time already and as ever people who ask significantly too much never sell or it takes them years to…

I think we would need to see a significant flow of extra buyers to put prices of the average ones up by much more than say 10-20%. On this point even though the PR machine run by Bonhams and Arno has been awesome, it’s still been in the fairly rarefied space of top level motorsport and the classic car/top level watch collecting circles. Many people who are selling their pieces on Ebay or elsewhere are unaware of the auction...and so the effect these people will have on asking or sold prices is I’d suggest negligible. I'd certainly say more are unaware than aware, with the excpetion of actual Heuer collectors, like us.

: Probably true, but I'm sure we'll see a few chancers playing on
: Arno's auction to bump up prices for some time afterwards on
: normal/average pieces too.
