| Tasker - from your lips to God's ears .Hopefully MrsD will never find out -  - somehow i dont think she would come up with the same value proposition !!! As for the KIA to Walsh It wasnt me - easier (and cheaper) to put in a commission bid when only after 1 lot - I think If I had gone, would have been tempted to bid for Walsh at that price - probably just as well I didnt go !! Having said that I will always regret the Secretan miss so there is a lot to be said for going along. At least this way the family get some Xmas presents particularly as there is not much in DNW's Dec sale.!! |

| She'll hear nothing from me, don't even know what you're on about!  Not too much in the DNW sale I have to agree, but as I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't consider selling a medal just before Xmas if i hoped to get the best price. That being said, apart from SAGs, there is some quality material there so a cheeky, speculative bid or two might pay off. |
