.. At any rate, I tried to get in twice last night but completely gave up. If there was something I had to have I would have tried more. But since I couldn't get in and didn't look previously I didn't know anything, pure ignorance as usual .

I also tried to get in last night because I wanted to bid on 3 items in particular. All 3 went for below I was willing to spend, one I thought real cheap. Anyway was having trouble even pulling up the auction because it was running way too slow so I gave up also.

I'm still wondering if I won...? I tried calling but they are closed..any guesses? It's like my bid went through..but doesn't reflected it? Am I reading this right?

I was happy to see that final bids on all 6 items I was involved in, were higher than I planned to go. So no big deal I suppose.

I was interested in the Mantle 1951-60 index bat, but surprised they didn't mention that the weight was significantly higher than anything he ever ordered during the years when he ordered that model, and that it was an inch short. Shouldn't that be in the description? Maybe I'm wrong on this Bat experts?

I tried for 2 hours to get in and just gave up. This is two auctions in a row that I participated with Mears that had severe issues

I got lucky, I was sitting at work last night. After an hour or so of frustration, the system seemed to start working well for me about 11 pm. I must say, everybody must have given up, because I had bid on 10 lower-priced items and didn't get outbid on a single one.

Congrats - anything interesting?

I liked the prices of a lot of the game-used baseballs, but wasn't confident enough in the provenance. I was hoping the Joe Jackson decal bat and the KC Maris baseball would slip through the cracks, but no luck.
