Legendary's auction that ended last night

[bostonmarathonman]

So I just realized that Legendary's auction ended yesterday--normally I stay on top of such things probably because every single auction house makes it a point to send a plethora of emails in the days leading up to the last day of bidding and even if they don't inundate us with emails every day for two weeks they at least make it a point to send an email the last day of bidding to remind everyone that the auction is closing that night: this time around, nothing. The only emails I received from them pertaining to this auction were a bid confirmation email and outbid notice email for the single item I placed a marker bid on last week the day that bidding started. That being said, did anyone receive one of their usual "lots x-xxx closing tonight" emails yesterday????? I think this was the first time in a while that all the lots in their auction closed on the same night (probably because it was a much smaller auction than usual). If they didn't send out reminder emails yesterday, this was a pretty piss-poor method of marketing the auction on its final day by not reminding people the auction was closing last night--had I remembered that yesterday was the day, I certainly wouldve placed a couple more bids on the one item I had already placed a bid on and likely a few others I was watching.

Just my opinion, but this may be the new normal state of affairs for Legendary.

I got their catalog in today's mail?

Not with a bang but a whimper.

I got the update emails so I would check your spam filter. Peter is right, the results were soft, possibly because of some bidders staying away.

It's time for Legendary to go away. Auction houses run by convicted felons need to go out of business.

I've been boycotting them now for several years. Please join in and help get rid of this cancer. Stop consigning and stop bidding.
