Auction House ending method poll

[oldjudge]

As someone who consigns and bids, I think the REA method is fairest to all.

You say this as if almost everyone else in this thread isn't a consignor and bidder.

Hey, I want the most for my consignments too!! If I thought I could get more for them another way then I would do it. Even now, if I truly thought the best way to maximize bids would be to do it another way, I would. So far I am not persuaded, as isn't around 80% of the board (the other 2 categories as of now).

And for the record, I love to bid in REA auctions and win something in almost every one. I love to bid in Baggers auctions and have won quite a bit there too. This is only a friendly debate, no more and no less.

Yes, I was going to mention in the original post but forgot.

This isn't really about which auction is good or isn't or which auction is preferred. Purely which format/template does each person prefer.

I am a convert though. I know I liked the REA format and when B-L changed I think I stated I didn't like it. Now I prefer the lot by lot format between the two options (Bagger's format is my current preference).

That is a more interesting way of breaking this down even more, are you a consignor?

I have consigned, but only once so I wouldn't consider myself a consignor. So my vote for Bagger's is purely from the point of view as a bidder. I don't know if my opinion would change if I was a consistent consignor.

I have consigned to many auction houses, including my own. It is no secret and I would say some folks have gotten very good deals on some of those cards.

So I do look at it from a consignors point of view. However, As a collector/bidder I won't lose in any of these auction methods if I HAVE to have something and have the money to get it. I CAN stay awake if I have to. (and have done so many times). I would just prefer to duke it out and get it over with....and think that I will spend more that way too. But who knows...
