I think at one 'big' member of our forum (I mean he has big in his name not that he has a big member you understand) was planning to go so we might ask if he will pop a note on his catalogue as the hammer drops.
I will be going. I assume I am the "big", cheers Nic.

"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!"
If they do, buggsy I'm you new best friend . Will be interested to see what the box of Cohiba Lancero go for, think the pre-auction estimate was ?200-?300 if I remember correctly, which for an aged box somewhat, I thought was a reasonable price, although suppose that may only be the starting price.
Most auction houses deliberately under estimate the likely value, sometimes quite dramatically, to help bolster interest. There is no guideline but chances are good that the hammer price, if the auction goes as the auctioneers might hope, will likely be at least twice the low estimate, possibly twice the high.
