We Asked a Collector, Where The Heck Is Her Won Treasure Now? Here’s What She Said.
‘‘I never participated in an auction before but I had to try. I followed the instructions on how to register and marked the day on my calendar. When the day finally arrived, I was having so much fun and I found myself really enjoying the whole process.
Finally, lot number 42! It was now time to bid on my ring. The auctioneer presented the item and my heart started racing in anticipation. I heard my bid being yelled out, fingers crossed I waited, willing the gavel to go down. Not so fast, ugh, someone yelled out a competing bid. Not to be deterred, I countered.
Please, please, please let the hammer go down….
Once, twice, sold! To me! What?! I won! And for such a great price?!
Working with Gray’s was such a pleasure, from the auction, to the sale, to the receipt of my ring. When the ring arrived I ripped open the box with such zeal. I literally put it on my finger without looking and haven’t taken it off since.’’
