Poll: Calls from AHs Reminding You Auction Is Closing

[Snapolit1]

How do people feel about these?

I get enough grief about my emails, don't think I'd have the balls to call unless there was a very specific reason.

I think they are in necessary as we get email and text reminders depending on the auction house and the settings that they have and that I set up.
Some smaller AH’s call periodically when I have a relation with them and they know if an interest I have or that I am looking for something and those can sometimes be helpful.
Just like any other call I can pick up or not and it can always go to voicemail otherwise

^^THIS^^ Way way way too many emails is bad enough. Phone calls would make me put them on ignore and never buy from them again.

EDIT: I just fricken got one of those calls from a AH and when I didn't answer they left a message.

It’s like when I was job hunting in the early 80’s :

Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

Just curious - how many people that selected "Don't care either way" or "Really don't need it or appreciate it" made that selection in hope that AHs will stop sending closing notifications with the net result being bidders that forget about the closing which results in less competition? Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck

What AHs do this? Do a lot of people actually get calls like this? I'm registered with a lot of different AHs, and I don't remember ever getting a call from any of them reminding me about an auction closing.

LOL, it wasn't you but if you get in any T210 Ft Worth players I wouldn't mind a call to let me know.

I can't figure out how the hell you all keep up with so many auction houses, ebay, B/S/T boards, etc,... going on at the same time.

Don't pester me: I already know about your auction and if anything in there is worth bidding on i've already bid. If not, your auction sucks and you should be hiding in shame, not cold-calling me.

I'm an apoplectic narcoleptic, so don't you dare disturb my slumber when your auction is closing.

I put their number on my blocked list. Now they call me from a 'private number '. Guess they arent getting the message
