Settlement requested Wed 16th Apr 2:14pm PDT by anaverageamerican: Robert Edward auctions is a trusted auction site, that reuires registration reference checks, etc for bidders.

The Babe Ruth baseball card has passed $200k, and will probably sell for much more, so I request settlement:

Thanks newswrangler! I just posted a response and I'm interested in what users think about what the 'auction policy' should be. These auction markets are fairly trendy now and I think we should all be in general understanding about when we should suspend/settle these markets. I sense a Get Satisfaction topic coming on...
