I was a little surprised on the amounts of bids already also. I would have to agree with tbob that it is a decent indicator of a possible strong finish. If 5 to 7 people already put in a bid on an item, a day before the auction was advertised to start, I would reason that those people want to be in early to be able to go into the extended bidding. It only takes two serious bidders to make a consigner happy. Hopefully not wishful thinking.
