Sweating out Goodwin Thread
 

Someone had to launch this. I've got about 6 bids in, maybe a couple more to come. Surely will go to 3 am, even if I don't?

The Drums are beating again!!! I think it's time to sell mine :)

I think the whole Goodwin thing is a sham setup to get me to sell my Drum back with them, so then when it goes for $2000, Ashton Kutcher will personally deliver me my check and tell me I was Punk'd. It's elaborate I'll admit, but I'm not falling for it

BTW, the only thing I'm thinking about bidding on(still) doesn't have a bid yet at $100, so that tells you where I'm at with collecting right now. That's why they're not getting my Drum, I'd have that money spent well in advance and would be crying when it got no bids

Any other impressions on the "semi-rare" backs so far? Seems like they are confirming or expanding recent price surge (in some, not all, cases), obvious close attention to pop reports, even if limited.

Hour to go, I need to get some snacks and alcohol

Alright extended here we are...long night ahead

Dang...wish the chatroom was working. Anyone know how late Goodwin's auctions last? I have a group I'm "sweating out", but it's as a "consigner" not as a bidder....heh

These Drum backs are just getting completely out of hand IMO. How these backs have jumped up almost 5-10X what they were selling for a couple years ago is beyond me. I highly suggest if anybody has plans on selling Drums from their collection to do it NOW. This smells like a really foul stench filled bubble that's destined to burst in the near future. Great time for sellers, horrible time for buyers. Whoever is paying these stupid prices right now, are gonna be left with no chair and completely lost when the music stops because when the bottom falls out, nobody in their right mind is gonna pay these people on resale for moronically overpaying for a fad. It happened with candy and bakery cards, and it WILL happen again eventually with this current back craze.

Brian,
You've got another 5 hours or so to "sweat" if this one is like his others.
Good luck, Mike

Goodwin
 

Brian,

The last one I bid in ended at 5:10am, est. I won the card I was after, then had to go straight to work.

Best of luck on your consignment!

Tony

i have gone to bed....then woke up at 5am the next morning and it was still going.

ridiculous. there is no need for every single auction to get drawn out that long. up the time out on a single item to like 30 minutes so the average guy buying one or two really important items for his collection can go to bed.

kevin

We could always set a Skype chatroom up

I loved how trolly the auction was a few minutes ago. Down to 8 minutes, HA

The Drums are going to a master set builder.....I don't think resale is even part of the thought process.

if you are going for my cards...be prepared to battle till death.

i refuse to lose my auction.

kevin

What are you bidding on Kevin? :)

Wonka
 

Oh-no!:)

Tony

Man I think I sold my EPDG Puttman a week too early

if i told you it probably wouldn't matter. im prepared for an all nighter and the pockets are a deep, when i need i need it.

i figured while the night is going i will add some cards to my pages.

kevin

It's not a current back craze, it's here to stay, i would hold on to them even longer, they will rise even more. the people with lots of cash need something to throw it at.

david hall took out a full page ad in SMR just advertising for looking to buy rare backs.

kEVIN...
 

In all due respect my bro, If wonks wants it, you have absolutely no chance:eek:

Johnny
 

Couldn't of said it better myself !!

Link to the auction?

Just joking with Kevin, you guys give me to much credit. Besides no way I can be up for the next 14 hrs of "extended" bidding to even think of bidding against any of you....:D

Speaking of no chance in hell or dump the 401k hate to be in the market for a Drum with the Great "Hall" of David out there.

For his sake, it better not be.


Ever.

It's been said many times over, all bubbles, no matter how big or small, eventually burst. Especially in hobbies. Art, coins, comic books, sports cards, sports cars etc. you name it, it's burst.

During the REA I was just like Kevin. I was going to get my card no matter what the cost! Wonka decided to get a card similar to mine, rather than the one I wanted. If he had wanted mine I would have been left far behind, no matter how much I wanted it.
Hope you get yours too, Kevin. :)

Ok maybe the Keeler in Sterling was a good deal....

So glad I didn't bother to stay up last night. I can't believe this auction is still going.

oh for god sakes. there is no reason for this thing to be still going.

kevin

So ridiculous!!!! Time to get up?!

Goodwin
 

This is insane. I'm glad I didn't stay up either.

If you look at the recent bids, it's the cards that are going for less than $1K that keep getting bid on.

Tony

I don't even get the theory behind keeping them going this long and the 15-minutes for ANY bid. Wouldn't auction houses benefit by ending at hour when nearly entire bidding audience is still awake and ready to spend--rather than losing nearly everyone overnight? I don't even get the theory behind dragging it out. And also severely limit by only letting you bid on what you've already bid on.

It's over finally 6:43 AM EST

Goodwin
 

Finally, it's over. That's crazy

Tony

Wow
 

Woke up, signed on and actually watch this end. Actually lost the one that hurt the least and won the one I expected to lose.

Yea I woke up to see my 2nd card had gotten some attention at the very end, didn't move anymore though

Unreal! I won mine...and aded another with a 5:45 am bid! Yay?:eek:

"Put it in the books." Record books. Won 5.

ok. now its time for all the undecisive broke bastards to pick out which cards you want to sell to cover your purchases and list them on here so i can buy them up :-) lol.

round 2. ding.

kevin

Did you get it, Kevin, and, if so, what was it?

Surprised there's no "Goodwin winnings" thread, although I guess everyone is still sleeping.

yo
 

Chuck, it's right here

Ah, cool. Thanks, Marc!

Actually saw that earlier this morning -- man, am I out of it today.

yea. i needed 2 piedmont 150 cards for my set.

kevin

well, are you sure you haven't been jacked,
sacked and shilled to the moon yet? >
