Default Auctions ending early to the chagrin of bidders

Posted By: Joe Pelaez

David, I'm beginning to think that the Gods are against me.

First I started my post by questioning your post as one being posted by an imposter.
Then I went back to re check the thread and I found that your post had a few edits added to it. ... sigh of relief, that's when I knew it was you.
As I'm still tapping away I noticed that it started to snow in Virginia.
After a short panic, I rushed out to get food supplies.
Then I had to deal with an auction.

Six different items going off at the same time.

For a sniper that doesn't use any contraption but his own timing. ... that sort of stuff can lead to a nervous breakdown.

By a stroke of luck, @ss and a touch of collectors insanity, I went 6 for 6.

Too worn out to continue my post, I waited till today to finish it.

David, you and many others on this thread have valid viewpoints as to what might make a Houdini seller behave.

I think that all of us can agree on one thing.
In most cases the scared Houdini will miss out on a GOOD hit.

I then tried to post this.
Found out that I was no longer registered.
It erased everything I had written.
Had to sign in again, and write everything from memory.

BTW David, I'm glad you came back.
As a betting man, I wudda looked up my favorite bookie and laid some bread down that you wouldn't show up.
I wuz wrong, I wudda lost. ... but I'm glad you showed up.

There are 8 million stories in our Naked City.
..... and this has been one of them.

Joe P.
