Please email me or PM me and I will ask the consignor(s) about any lots you have an interest in. It is our policy ALWAYS to try to help. Please note that there will still be a buyers premium. The one time we waived it we got blasted for it. We learned not to try to do too many favors, in that respect. Actually, some folks had said that they were the only bidder, won the item plus BP, but since we offered them without BP after the auction (items with no bids), then they shouldn't have bid and were upset. Live and learn.
We had a record number of bidders and it was nice to see a ton of new players in the auction. I think there were some record high prices (E97 Hemphill, Lenox Brown Lajoie....holy cow), some good prices and a few that didn't get to where we hoped. We will continue the same bidding format in the future. We had a lot of bidders that either waited, or missed out on their main lots, and jumped back in on others after extended biddign started. One bidder still never understood that everyone could bid on anything the whole time. We feel we sent enough messages and our rules were plain enough, and were very available to answer questions, that we did all we could to help. Once again, thanks to all bidders and consignors. It was a lot of fun for us and sounds like it was fun for a lot of folks on the board too. best regards
