Hi everyone. I'm sorry to the OP for not doing better on his consignment - we promise to do a better job in the future.
It's true that we made the conscious decision to continue to have items close on November 8. If we had decided to skip election day, due to the size of Auction #9, it would have pushed later items to close on the day before Thanksgiving which we know is a travel day for many people.
We need to establish a baseline, because if we start to skip dates due to unique events that may distract bidding, there could be an endless list of days that we select to skip (sporting events, award shows, popular television events, etc.). For this reason, it is our practice to refrain from items closing only on major holidays and days associated with major holidays.
On a side note, I don't think anyone could have predicted the fervor with which the American people followed the election results.
