Hugo Papstein Quotations

We'll see what happens. We'll have good feelings this weekend because we're pleased we're still in it.

We've saved a considerable amount, and we're considerably below what was paid for the last station in this area. People seemed to be a little more cautious this time. I think there were more veteran bidders with a little more savvy.

Looks like we might have gotten a good deal.

I was surprised that they didn't make an announcement that they were going to close it. There hadn't been much action in our ballpark for a while, so we were only checking twice a day.

I would think the end is pretty close. I thought there would be a lot more activity across the board. I'm surprised, but I'm going to cross the fingers that we don't have another surprise.

We have to wait and see what the guys who have shown interest but haven't been around for a few rounds are going to do.

We did some engineering stuff a year ago, and we are doing a little formatting and engineering research now.

(Today) will tell the tale. You're starting to get into serious money.

The thing I have the most problem with is the discount. Each and every percent hurts me. Some guy that owns three stations in Reno can come in here and bid 25 percent less than I can.

They may have blown his doors off there.

There's an awful lot of high rollers who blew their wad last time. I know there aren't nearly as many players involved.

I'm not particularly surprised. You get a little anxious and tired of chugging along.

I'm excited. I'm really excited. I'm surprised at how really excited I am that we got it. We're going to go to work now.

If you have a max and go with it on the first round, you might blow the competition away, but you might also be shooting yourself in the foot and overpaying.

I don't know if I'm ready or not. With the goofy guidelines they have in place, it's hard to decide.
