Just wondering if the house is still bidding in this auction or if Heritage has stopped this practice?

I appreciate timely sending of catalogs as much as the next guy but c'mon, how about if I don't get bid up by the house?

Small request. Hopefully it will be taken seriously.

Got my catalogue(s) over the weekend, all I can say is WOW! Looks amazing!! Don't think I'll be bidding on anything, well I am but not expecting to win lol, but can't wait to see the action on some of these lots.

Thanks again Peter

I am convinced Heritage utilizes 'Rule 21' or why would anyone want this in the fine print. Even the possibility makes me feel dirty. is this even legal? Hopefully one day soon we find out. For this reason and others, my bids placed with Heritage are 1/2x. If others followed suit, maybe we could actually get some deals with HA...assuming the lots are not house or employee owned. Rule #21 is by far the most opportunistic rule in the auction universe. Personally, I would never work for a company that has such a philosophy and feels it's OK.
