Peter, my mouth is agape at that attempt at an analogy. Literally agape. |

If meeting the reserve is the issue, why not eliminate book bidding and if the bidding stops short of the reserve, tell the high bidder what the reserve is at that point and ask if s/he wants to meet that reserve. If not, it goes unsold. It seems like a more straightforward way of doing it considering some bidders consider the activity of other bidders into their considerations of the value of an item. |

not mad. Just resolute. I'm also usually not affected by book bidding as I am but a small fish..... and the bigger fish don't seem to care. |

Sounds like Peter is comparing bidding at Sotheby's to shooting a game of craps. |

Of course, there was a Seinfeld episode where Elaine bid in a live Sotheby's auction. Someone's going to have to study that episode to see how the bidding was performed .... Interestingly, the lot she fictitiously won (JFK's golf clubs) was soon after won in the real Sotheby's auction by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Elaine's bid was portrayed as ridiculously high, yet Schwarzenegger paid many times more in real life. |

David- I actually brought that up in a recent thread...Elaine spent about 20K after a heated battle with Sue Ellen Mishkie, the braless wonder. |

I'm not as high end as you, Barry. My favorite Sit Com is "The Bob Newhart Show," where the closest they came to a Sotheby's auction was was when Bob won a frozen turkey in the office raffle. |

Very nicely done.....I am honored. BTW, at one of the Net54 dinners a waitress spilled ketchup on me and in return I got to be a beauty pageant judge that night.....This kind of goes hand in hand with that.. (or hand in something else if I don't watch out)......Those babes are babe-alicious.....regards |

that night I paid twice AND we paid an extra tip as all were too bombed to notice that the gratuity had already been added to the bill. Of course looking at breasts er ah beauties after spending a day on the floor at the National even Patrick Ewing would look good in a bathing suit.... |
