[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1811879, member: 39695"] What you see or don’t see during the auction is only part of the story. There are buyers who will bid against each other all day and then work together after the sale. I can’t guess how many times I’ve seen 2 or 3 buyers after a sale, each with a handful of cards. Buyer A got 35 hd of 6wt hfrs bought but that wouldn’t fill out a pot. Buyer B only got 11 hd of 6wt hfrs bought. That isn’t enough for his order so he gives that card to buyer A. They’ll trade cards back and forth until they get their loads filled out the best they can. Then they’ll go settle up in the office. I’ve seen guys bid with a flick of a toe on their boot, holding up a cigarette, just looking at the auctioneer, or have some else bid for them ( then you really get confused) [/QUOTE]
