Last REA auction, I got shut out bc I was nervous about dropping multiple (7+) max bids on expensive cards for fear all my max bids would hold and I would be “stuck” spending much more than I expected. I am not sure what I will do this time. All I can tell you is that while I LOVE REA (great company, great auctions, great people), I HATE that every single lot in the auction closes at the same time.

Please let us know what a 7+ bid is..... is that a bid that has seven digits in it ($1,000,000)? Or does that mean a a poor mans 7+ bid that includes the decimal point such as $10,000.00? Hate to be driving a fully loaded Model 3 Tesla while wishing to driving a Ferrari F60.....

In either case, a nice dilemma....

7+ refers to the number of max bids I would have placed, not the size of the bids.

Thank you, I've never really considered the number of max bids placed when deciding to put another bid in. That's an interesting thought. My bidding style is a bit unsophisticated and probably a bit reckless.

They really shouldn't. Look at the bidding activity using their recent bids link. The auction is not going to end until close to midnight.

I know - and I get it; i just wish the deadline was applied on a lot level. so any item not receiving a bid within 5 minutes, that particular lot closed. I hate waiting on my 10-12 items of interest because other completely unrelated items are in a bidding war - I 100% understand the WHY, but I still dislike it

I don't mind the format. If they closed 1 at a time I may let an earlier lot go only to get blown off a later lot and end up losing both. This way I can decide close to midnight which lots to go for.
