leonI agree there were some great deals although I just looked at your lots and I only see 1 (the largest one) that was probably a few hundred under market price, after the BP is added. I know because I have sold similar ones, when the market was much better. One other thing about those cards too. If I remember correctly they were marketed extensively before being consigned. That can have an adverse effect when they get auctioned. Sorry they didn't do better for you.
No one can say we shill bid, that is for sure. Also, for the record, we had more different winning bidders than our previous auctions. There were around 1500 total bids on our 212 lots. I think the market is still a little, to quite a bit, soft on all but the better stuff. I think we had around 10-15% of our lots not meet reserve, which was ok too. I am sure there is at least 1-2 idiots who will still think we did something underhanded. But idiots are generally always idiots.....
