REA Auction Preview

[Bpm0014]

Does REA not allow you to view items beforehand (the auction starts 10-6-17)? Or am I missing something? Typically in most auctions you can preview the items before the auction starts. Does anyone know? Thanks!

[Bicem]

No preview.

[T_Hamilton]

Can not wait. My favorite auction!

[packs]

I've got an item in the auction. Looking forward to potentially making some money during REA as opposed to waving goodbye to it.

Usually, REA opens their auction early or has the digital version available as a preview, but not this year. However, it opens tomorrow, so it's almost here!

[Bpm0014]

Agh, the suspense!

[Republicaninmass]

Tick tick tick


Maybe it will open early

To quote the famous philosopher and theologian, It is what it is and it isn't what it isn't.

Some of my most prized collectibles are contained (in image form only) within the many amazing pages of my REA Catalog Hard-Copy Personal Library.

I assume those pages represent today's version of the Sears & Roebuck 'Wish Book' Catalogs of my grandparent's era.


I can't wait for the next one to arrive...

maybe REA isn't doing a preview because of all the complaints about auctions taking too long from start to finish.

[Republicaninmass]

It is getting a little absurd when most bidding is done the minute it opens, or once it goes to extended bidding

[autograf]

I think it's the equivalent of the really good restaurant keeping people waiting in the front even though a table or two might be ready in the back. The suspense makes it all so much more exciting. Or maddening. There's a fine line between those two......

[pawpawdiv9]

I posted some interested items that are being auctioned in another thread.
You should read what is being offered in their 'Updates"

I just hope its not a bunch of HIGH-END items that the middle/working class can afford.
Looks to be advertising some heavy smoking guns already.

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Saw a sampling of their stuff at the National. Pretty f'n awesome!

[iowadoc77]

The suspense is killing me. It’s the 6th, open it up already!
Seriously, they have a good brand and they know it. Nothing wrong with creating a little hype.

[Republicaninmass]

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN


Now where are those music note emjois

[Bpm0014]

It’s the 6th, open it up already!

I know!

[packs]

I've checked the date 3 times already and the website 10 times to see if it says the 16th. Where are the goods?

[edjs]

I am guessing they open at 9:00 PDT, or noon eastern. Your guesses?

[darwinbulldog]

I'll say 1:00 P.M. EDT.

[packs]

An east coast office on west coast time. I like it.

[T_Hamilton]

Open open open.

[darwinbulldog]

Is that a headline or a demand?

[T206Collector]

I was hoping it was a headline, but alas... it is not open open open... yet...

[Griffins]

if you're that impatient you can backdoor it.
Go to the last lot of the last auction, and then add one number to the url- it should end in 45912

Defintely worth the wait for this auction!!!!

[jcc6252]

All other auction bidding is now officially on hold!!!

Happy to help, I wonder if they will "close that door" before the auction goes live or by the next auction. Not too hard to find.

Not blown away with the autographs, which is my niche.

At least I know I don't have to start selling body parts!

Even if you did have to, totally worth it. Stuff trumps body parts

[bobfreedman]

I received my catalog today because it is my consignment that made the cover

[Cat]

If you log in and look at your bids page, it will be empty but on the left hand column it will say this:

Start: 10/6/2017 2:00 PM EST
End: 10/29/2017 12:00 PM EST

[pawpawdiv9]

its open NOW!!!!

[Republicaninmass]

Boom

[scooter729]

And all of a sudden, the thread goes very quiet, as everyone scrambles to enter their placeholder bids, followed shortly by receiving their outbid emails....

Done and done. Sheesh. Record outbid time for me! Hope deflated. Reality restored

[irv]

Very nice auction, especially the 52 Topps cards!

Noticed this Eddie Miskis gray back card and noticed they still refer to it as a CDN gray back.
I thought that had pretty much been disproven?

AND we will probably start to see some quality items hitting the B/S/T I suspect......

[x2drich2000]

anyone know if it is possible to place a straight bid that is more than the minimum?

[Republicaninmass]

(Gulp) looking at my bids, I hope I don't win them all!
