RE:8th Sale ResultsWe will never be told, but I wold love to know the actual cost/price numbers on the specials that we always "win."
I am not so sure that we should always be winning these bids. Perhaps we would be better off letting DeBeers have them, unless they are really low-balling their bids, which seems unlikely.
One thing is certain, the losing bidder always makes a profit on them. It is not certain that the winner will, or at least that he will make as large a profit as the loser.
The winner could be over valuing them and end up taking a bath.
Please correct me if I have this wrong.
