I cannot tell if this auction ended. I had the high bid on an item and it says a lot closed but didn't get an email or anything. It does not seem like bidding extended past 9pm but this is my first experience with Lelands. I just don't know if I should get excited or not... please advise...

[thecatspajamas]

Can someone clue me in to how you can tell their auction is winding down? It's been a while since I bid with them, but for the life of me, I can't find anything resembling a countdown clock anywhere on the site. Not trying to be critical, but really just wanting to know how I can see how much time is left and when the "10 minute clock" resets...?

I don't think it's over because it just accepted my bid on something I have been bidding on...

There are a few auction houses like that. I guess it would be easy enough to call them and ask how to find out - there has to be a way, right? - but for such AH's I just put in my biggest bid...right about now , and check again in the morning.

[cguidi]

I already put in my best bid and the price hasn't changed for 2 hours so hopefully it won't! Still kind of a annoying buying experience... or maybe I am just spoiled.

I just assumed I was overlooking something obvious. I know I could call them, but I really don't think they want every bidder calling them every 10 minutes saying, "Is it still going?"

My issue is that I don't have the funds to bid put in a big bid on every lot that I'm interested in, and may have to drop off one to pursue another if it gets out of hand. I'd hate to pick one to go for though, leave a max bid, then find out in the morning that I was outbid on it while another I was watching went for cheap, but I came away with nothing.

It wouldn't be the end of the world, but I'd hate it

I meant - call them to find how to look it up yourself.

Seems like the norm these days rather than the exception with major AH's running past 3am EST in the morning almost every time. Glad that I have scaled back on my collecting these days and don't have to torture myself with all-night endurance contests.

As usual, I was the under bidder on a lot that I did not win, the Sol White History of Colored Baseball. The winner got a pretty fair deal IMHO.

[calvindog]

It looks like the Jim Brown ring was pulled from the auction.

[cguidi]

Well that sucked... I had the high bid at 9pm and that bid had not changed when I went to bed at midnight. Of course at some point in the wee hours of the night I became the underbidder. Glad I didn't stay up!

Ah, okay. Misunderstood you there.

As it turned out, whoever I was bidding against apparently did as you said around midnight Central, putting both of my primary lots of interest out of reach. At least I was able to run each one up to my limit before going to bed though so that I KNEW they were out of reach, rather than waking up to the same surprise as cguidi.

For the one lot that I did win, I got the notification at at 4:24 AM Central. I don't know if that is when the auction actually ended, but it's safe to say that it went pretty late.

[vintagehofrookies]

well, at least I wasn't the only one that was outbid WAY past the supposed 10 min. rule. I read the rules again right before the auction was supposed to go into extended bidding and it says after 9pm that if after 10 min there were no additional bids on a lot then you won it, right? Well I was the high bidder on 3 Ruth lots all the way up to around 10:15 and from 9-10 I refreshed the auctions like every 5 mins to see if I was outbid which I wasn't. Then at 10:15, well past an HOUR from when my auctions should have closed I was outbid, one went past my max and the other I bid again and was the high bidder until 3 hours later when I got the outbid notice. When I woke up today I won one auction and wasn't happy at how this auction ran as I'm used to every other auction house following to their rules. IDK maybe I missed something in their rules?

If there are no bids on ANY lot in the entire auction for 10 minutes, then the whole auction closes. If any lot anywhere in the auction receives a bid, the 10-minute clock for the entire auction resets. They don't do it on a lot-by-lot basis.

The only way your scenario of you being declared the winner at 9:10 PM is if you were the ONLY bidder on the lot at 9:00, which would mean nobody else would be able to bid against you (since you have to bid on a lot before 9:00 to be able to bid on it after 9:00).

[darwinbulldog]

I've also been waiting a couple of days for them to respond to my questions about lot 561. The Purdy studio didn't open until 1896, and Jack Glasscock didn't look like that (as I realized after putting in what I thought was a placeholder bid). Oops.

ah I see, ok I'm def. not a fan of that process, lol.

Same here. I was under bidder on a lot and watching a few others that was going to bid on, and probably would have been more aggressive for them, but still have a bad taste in my mouth from my first experience with Leland's in their last auction. In their last auction, I stayed up till after 3am and was winning on 2 lots( with no activity or bids since the auction "ended") went to bed woke up and lost both lots. It is very frustrating, especially staying up very late just to lose out.

[jefferyepayne]

I've become a huge proponent of auctions that close lot by lot. I know there are pros and cons to every format but I, for one, am tired of staying up until 5am EST and then dragging myself to work.

The only way this is ever going to change is if a large number of serious collectors (I wonder where we could find those!) STOP bidding on auctions where all lots close at the same time. Or at least make it clear to auction houses that you plan to allocate much more of your funds to auctions that end in a lot by lot manner.

I'm doing my part to deal with this issue, are you?

For those that are wondering, here is a partial list of auction houses that close lot by lot. Feel free to add more to the list!
