I look forward to the ITPC auctions. They have a great selection of memorabilia.
This time though, the minimum bid for many of items was set too high IMO. Many of the starting prices were higher than current market values (e.g. recent ebay sales).
Looking at the auction results, 192 of the 453 lots had no bids and more than 150 lots had only 1 bid. That's more than 75% of the auction with no competitive bidding.
Maybe it was due to consignors insisting on a price. Maybe it's a sign of the softening market. But it's a little disappointing because there were a number of items I would have bid on if the starting prices were competitive.
