I appreciate the response. (And thanks for the correction on the lot number).

Hoping going forward we are past these issues, but if not, I think having a template with a communication plan would go a long way.

there was communication on the night of August 8. slow as molasses but of a sudden the green lettering showing the time to go changed from about 4 minutes on the lot I was bidding on to 23 hours. I confess I was baffled and did not understand at first that the auction was postponed 24 hours, but very soon thereafter I had a gmail message from Golden with an explanation.

for those of us who were trying desperately to bid or do anything, it was nearly impossible if you had more than one lot to navigate. I was glad the auction was postponed, but it changed my bidding strategies entirely.

People who lie down with dogs are probably going to get fleas. That's their choice, but don't wonder or complain about feeling itchy.

Amazing how he sold that "auction house" or whatever happened there.


More surprising people still bid.


Shenanigans!


Stuff trumps all

He is Executive Director or something like that, you wonder if it's a real position or just nominal and Nat is running the show with his own people. From what I've seen of Ken, and this is a compliment, he seems the type of guy that would not be happy not being in control.
