Good luck, Mike. Your set up is a bit different and the first lot to bid on is Lot number 5. Just so folks know......
Thanks for allowing Net54baseball to help spread the word. Advertising works (says the guy who sells advertising. )

Mentioning a few specific auction highlights in this thread might get more members to click the banner ad.

Would this help any?

It doesn't hurt. That got me to click.

You might want to post a link in this thread. I’m lazy, and not the only one

Here is the link, which by the way I created by clicking the banner on the top part of the Net54 page, then right clicking the mouse and clicking 'copy', then right clicking on my post and clicking on 'paste'. I did choose the 100 lots per page option, which is the best way to view this auction.

I am lazy too, so either of the 1 click ways is good with me. Two clicks would be carrying it 1 click too far.

Seeing the bid history is awesome. I wish all auction houses did that, ESPECIALLY the ones who bid on their own auctions or allow for “hidden reserves”.

I think this should be the wave of the future; seems like a simple upgrade in a time of badly needed transparency

I can see both sides of this. Yes transparency is great. Shill bidding sucks. And any auction house that runs up bids with their house account should face the wrath of their customers. But I can also see how people wouldn't want to know what or how much I am bidding. There are a lot of very private people in the hobby who don't want others to know about their collection and would be very turned off if people knew what they were bidding on and how much they are spending. In addition, imagine the impact if people saw "Joe's Card Shop" was willing to pay x for a card and began thinking it must be a good deal if Joe is willing to buy it for that price. Or even if I knew you were looking at a card and I decided to run it up just cause I dislike you.

I pride myself on running a straight up and fair honest auction... zero reserves and no shill bidding or BS. If there is one hard and fast rule I’ve learned in the auction business is that an item is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
My auction client understands this as well. Sometimes you take a hit but it all works out in the end.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I can tell you it really means a lot to me.
Mike
