Did a poor description cost the seller money? Did the Buyer get a bargain?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A sign of the times and worries about the economy? Less demand for obscure merged lodge issues?\u00c2\u00a0 Typically Dance and Ceremonial team issues have very limited runs and ar bid up; but there were only three bidders in this auction.<\/p>\n

Not enough eyes over the holidays or did the 19X2 description cause fewer to look at the picture?<\/p>\n

So what do you think?<\/p>\n
