Random shoutout-- LOTG auctions

[jh691626]

Probably everyone on this forum is far more familiar with LOTG auctions than I am. I have bid there a couple of times but never won anything.

Last night, I was planning to bid on two small items for their current auction for which extended bidding started at 9PM. I had not put in bids as of like 8:50, and the computer system was acting funny (probably on my end). My only option was to call them 5 minutes before the start of extended bidding to try to put in bids.

So, I am the worst kind of person/bidder here--literally, I am calling with 5 minutes to spare, trying to put in bids for tiny lots at 8:55, when probably there are 78,000 things going on and no time to put in bids for some random guy like me.

Instead I called, and got someone immediately (seemed like it was the owner). He acknowledged that it was last minute and could not have been nicer about the whole thing. He patiently got my info, put in my bids, told me the status, and made sure I'd get updated on my bid status. Super friendly.

In the end, I got neither item, but that matters less than just having an exceedingly positive experience with this whole thing, so wanted to give a big shout out for that. We talk about the wave of jerks who seem to come along in the hobby from time to time, so I wanted to just highlight a simple but nice experience!
