Poll: Auction House Closing Method

[molenick]

I hope dealers are looking at this because I don't think there has ever been a Net54 poll where there was such overwhelming agreement.

As for making up our own rules (such as, "no one else can bid") I would like the ability to retroactively increase my bids on closed auctions. I will even be reasonable and limit it to "auctions that closed within the last 30 days".

Because recently there were five or six auctions closing within a few weeks of each other where each had items I was interested in. And every time I stopped bidding, in my mind it was because I could allocate that money towards the next auction. Then it came down to LOTG and Heritage and I thought, well, those are the lots I REALLY want, so I'm glad I saved money from the prior auctions.

And when my multi-increment-higher max bid got topped on the LOTG lot I wanted, I thought "I am going to bid whatever it takes to get the Heritage lot". And then I ran into someone else who felt the same way and I just couldn't justify spending three times more than I originally thought the lot would go for.

So now that I have extra cash on hand, I want to go back to LOTG, REA, Sterling, Brockelman, Mile High, etc. and keep bidding on closed lots!
