Fenway Hunt Auctions Underbidder thread

[perezfan]

I came up empty as well... most notably on this...

http://www.huntauctions.com/LIVE/ima...=313&lot_qual=

My early bid had little chance, but it didn't go as high as I thought it might have, either. Someone got a beautiful piece.

Very limited variety this time around... especially for non-Red Sox fans.

If the winner of lot #324- (2) Kid Nichols cabinet photos would like to sell either photo, I'm very interested. Thanks, Jeremy

I find Hunt to be somewhat difficult to get around on their website. And I have been outbid on every single item I have ever bid on with them. I wish they would make their site more user friendly.

It gives me a migraine every time

I have thoroughly enjoyed their auctions over the years, and almost always come away with a few cool items. No luck this time. I think most of us are used to their auction software, so it's no big deal.

The site could be better, but at least they now put out a printed catalog for their monthly auctions. I usually start there, dogear the lots of interest, then go to the website for additional descriptions and bidding. (No bidding from me this time around though).

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the internet pre-bid followed by live auction scenario. Probably because I once thought I had won a lot (not realizing it was a pre-bid followed by live auction the next day. The next evening, after the live auction I didn't know about, I was talking to another collector who happened to mention the same lot, and gave me a confused look when I said "Yeah, I won those for [some price much less than the final bid]. Periodic embarrassment like that keeps me humble. The other reason I don't like pre-bids is I've never actually won anything that way

That, and even though I never win anything, which is ok, I don't bid a ton from them. I can't get myself to bid on an item with 1 photo, unless they changed it.
