I snagged this from the site which I thought was sweet!!! Some young man in 1799 trying his flair for writing!! Looks like this was the front page, but the rest was so small as to be too tiny to read....even enlarged.....

 

Too bad there is no online bidding.

 

Interesting.....most often he goes with 'Live Auctioneers'.....apparently not this time!!

 

You actually got it???

 

That was a classroom penmanship exercise. Translation of an ode by the classical Greek poet Anacreon.

Debora

 

No, no, no!!! I just copied the image off the website!!!! And 'did my thing' to it!!! I don't have that kind of connections with ANYBODY!!!!!!

 

LOVE that you know the phrase/ode!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Playing cards!

 

I couldn't really read the poem with any "flow" my brain doesn't work well with bad eyesight, but, I want to ask questions about LiveAuctioneers in particular, and online auction sites in general -

Ever since it was mentioned in forum about not needing to pay for a service to LA to discover the prices realized, just register an email address, I have been subscribed to their emails. (Thanks guys, I learn so much from y'all) I see stuff I'd love to bid on, but I have no idea how to get them to ship it over to me or what the shipping could cost? Plus, there are so many auctions, not sure who's in charge? But someone here may know these answers..?

 

LOL:

 

Hi Anti! When I bought my one Cameo, it was WITH JohnMcInnisAuctions, but he runs his auctions AT THE SAME TIME through LIVE AUCTIONEERS and I think one or two other auction sites.....BUT JOHN has the actual ITEMS AT HIS LOCATION, (or if he's running it from an on-site house....then he will take them to his own physical Auction House when it's over to arrange shipping from there), at least that's how I believe it usually is (or was with me), and I had to arrange to have the Cameo shipped to me through his office/location...wasn't difficult at all!! Hope that helps a bit, and I'm not sure if they ALL do it that way!!!! Sometimes I think logistics could be mind blowing, but I try not to think about all of that!!!!

OTHERS may know something much different!!!!!???????
