Default Live Auctions?

Posted By: warshawlaw

It is very tough to get registered for many auctions. I've been shut out of several because of registration difficulties.

The bidding system sucks. I've checked prices at auction sites directly during auctions and found in some cases (specifically with Heritage) that the minimum/reserve in the auction at the web site exceeds the ebay minimum bid. I saw a card with a $600 ebay live minimum on the Heritage site with a $1,000 opening/reserve/ In other words, the ebay bidders were wasting their time if they thought that they could bid anything close to the opening and win the item. The total lack of real time feedback on the ebay live auctions also makes them an exercise in frustration.
