There's been some bidding activity on the Hector medal. I'm pretty sure I know who the first bidder is (can tell by feedback count). The second bidder is interesting. They have zero feedback. So either it's a freshly created account, or they just hadn't bid much yet. I'd suspect they are likely to be an NZer, perhaps a relative newcomer to the scene who hasn't felt the need to join ebay up till now?(pandemic seems to have led to a decrease in NZ ebay numismatic activity). It would be good if Hector came back to NZ but I have a feeling some very rich overseas collector with an interest in NZ might end up grabbing it!
