Many years ago was my only success at putting in a very high opening bid the first day. I called Lew and asked what my top, straight bid, could be? He said anything over the first increment and I could do what I wanted....so this lot went from about 1k to 8k on the first bid....and ended right there....it was 8 of these 10..Lew asked me twice, on the amount, as he couldn't believe I was going to pay that much.......(btw, most auction houses will let you do incremental straight bids almost as high as you want to, from the first bid on...)
