Hopefully the 3rd party IT preventing shill bidding worked...I will say some cards I bid on/followed went for a whole lot more (more than double) than I anticipated even without BP
I like the extended bidding aspect PWCC built into the auction especially the lot by lot closing...maybe some of the major auction houses will adopt and follow this format

Ya I liked the format as well. Although it definitely cost me tonight in a few auctions. There were a lot of great deals tonight for sure (I saw a $1500 Wander Franco RC go for $185 lol). But the high end vintage stuff I was bidding on, especially well centered, went for a premium. There was a really nice 1954 willie mays SGC 8 that someone stole for $5k. I was planning to bid on that up to about $7500 or so, but it slipped out from under me. I thought I was the high bidder on it, but I guess I wasn't. There were also a few nice cards in BVG slabs that I picked up at good prices. I got a 54 Topps Ted Williams BVG 6 that actually looks like a 6 for about half of what it's worth in a different slab. But I'm probably not going to regrade it. I'm just going to crack it out and put it in my set as an upgrade over the one I have currently.
I have my eye on a lot of basketball auctions for tomorrow. Hoping to score some of those.
