Thanks Marge.
The crazy way I look at is: if I'm going to spend however many hours at an auction waiting for something to go on the block, then I'm willing to pay a certain amount of $$$ per hour for my invested time (although there's no established rate!). Luckily though, for whatever reason, most of the local CI folks were not at this sale, and the majority of those present left after the last of the lots over on the CI tables (sometimes auction attrition is your friend!). Bidding on the PSF box kicked off at $5.00 and for $35.00 it was mine, plus the 10% buyer's premium, and 6.75% state sales tax (but no shipping charge, no scary packing, and no even scarier sorting centers). But after waiting for nearly four hours, I was prepared to go much higher, even though I had no idea as to its actual value. I can still remember the lot #: 813.
