A bidding war is where two or more people bid furiously against one another, each desperate to own a particular item.
Phenomenal results are possible, such as last month, where a postcard by artist A. R. Quinton, depicting a cliff view at Herne Bay, fetched 100 plus. By anyones standards, the card was worth about 3 for the view and maybe a few pounds more for the artist.
I checked and found that two serious bidders, one of Herne Bay topographical postcards, the other a Quinton enthusiast, had launched a bidding war that was eventually won by the Herne Bay collector, or was it the seller of this rather common-a-garden postcard?
