Goodwin Pickups

[calvindog]

Richard, it might be funnier if you receive a call next week from Bill Goodwin telling you that the "winner" of the D303 Wagner didn't pay for the card and you can have it for the underbidder price.

I was wondering why even though we have, by far, the largest community of pre-war card collector's anywhere, I am the only one to have claimed to have won anything in last night's auction...

Maybe it depends upon your definition of the word "won."

I have never had any problems with Bill's auctions and have always received my consignment checks paid in full in a timely manner. I have never received an offer to purchase when I have been an underbidder on an item.

That's my experience with Bill, which is really all I can really comment on.

I won the W600 Wagner, and if the previous owner would have just sold it to me directly it would have saved me from eating more ramen

Richard, if I were you I'd run out immediately and buy a lottery ticket.

I always get my checks for consignments.

I also won something last night.

My experience has always been positive.

Nice pickup on the W600. You need more Wagner cards!!!

I won a card last night. I also had a top all on it and it did not get close. I have never been concerned about placing a top all in Bill's auction. I also consigned material. Some of which went well beyond what I expected and others did not do so well. I was contacted this morning by someone who won one of my items which I felt did not do well. The winner told me a top all was placed on the item 2 bids higher than the final bid.

For some reason "Borat" poped in to my mind when reading the above quote!

Brad - I really appreciate you posting that as I was sitting here for the last hour wondering "What does Brad thing about this thread...Does it make him happy? angry? sad? or does it make him thing of Borat?"

Thanks for clearing that up for me; I suspected the answer might be Borat but now I know for sure.
