Is it the Silly Season again ?

That much for this !

1917 USN common MKllMod1, export PE&M case, USN 1900 case, unmarked 1 pr, BSC export case & projectile. None of these even match or are scarce ?

I'll help him out buy buying the BSC case, but the $40 I'll pay might not make a dent in this ~

US Navy 37mm 1 Pounder 1900’s WWI WW1 Very Old

I'm evidently sitting on a fortune. Are people retarded or what? There were evidently 2 idiots bidding on it.

I "think" one was just seeing how far the other would go without actually winning it ! Apparently the winner of this has been bidding like a fool on all sorts of things, but not until others bid on them, obviously thinks if others bid it must be good ! -- :wink:

When other bidders catch onto a fool like this they will run them every time--- so this guy will be winning but it will cost him a fortune !

I wonder if I have any extras ~ could use a few extra $ before he burns out !

Yeah, some people are mental about things. I heard a story about a guy who was in an antique shop, and a customer came in looking for an item and asking about finding one. They didn't have one there, so the customer left. The observer knew where there was one at a different store, so he went there and bought it! Didn't need or want it till someone else wanted it. Blows my mind.

I just wanted rounds to put my fuzes in and I KNOW I over bid, but that final price was nuts!! I'm with Gordon and John, I'm gonna look for spares in my collection to put up for bids!! Cheers, Bruce.
