So that gorgeous Ballard went for $4500. I put in A bid for $1600 and was high bidder when auction started. It suddenly jumped to $3800. so as what you guys were saying happened on this auction site. They jumped to high absentee bid over my $1600. Now I knew I wouldnt win at that price,I have a gorgeous Peterson Ballard 22 that does all I ask of it.I just did it to see how this auction house operated.
