BST Auction Results

[andybecker]

Good morning everyone,

Thanks to the Net54 community for making our inaugural auction such a success!

Regarding the buyer's premium and the discount for check payment vs. paypal; We had an internal error. We are accepting paypal, but there is no check discount. In essence, we are eating the Paypal fees.

We have shipped everyone who has paid. Most shipments went out within 24 hours of payment being received.

I suspect that anyone who paid last week and hasn't yet received their winnings, will receive them today.

I apologize for not communicating tracking numbers. Simply put, we did not have the staff in place to email everyone and continue to get shipments out as payments came in.

Additionally, and FWIW, we paid all the consignors within a week of the auction ending.

Again, thanks to the entire Net54 community for your friendship and support.

Best regards,

Andy Becker

Will you continue to "eat" the pay pal fees in the future? You will need to make this clear before the next one. If he answer is "yes" than that's swell...I see Goodwin, not that it is with Beckett, also suddenly started accepted Pay Pal this month, and maybe Sterling too....

I'm interested in this as well. If I had known that, I would have rather paid by PayPal instead of sending off a paper check. I could have gotten my winnings faster and not been penalized for sending a check.

I paid this morning with paypal and there was no fee increase. I was pleasantly surprised. Now can't wait for my card! Will post a scan when I get it. Very impressed with this initial auction!

I took Chuck's suggestion and just used the BST scan in my registry rather than trying to get my scanner working with WIN8 when it obviously doesn't want to.

Anyway, here's my solo win in BST.

Andy, thanks for the update.
You and the boys put on a great auction, especially considering this is the first one. A wonderful catalog and very fast shipping.
It's hard to knock that combination (and I won't)

I'm very happy with all aspects of this auction. Also, the card i won is now in my top 5 all-time favorites!
It showed up in the mail today, securely packaged with the proper applied layer of tape

Not to hijack the thread by any means, but Brian- that is an amazing SGC HOF collection. Some really great cards in there. Something to be very proud of! I could see having lots of favorites in there!!!

Thanks Eric

I've been having fun compiling that collection over the years.
It pales in comparison to many collections here, especially since the bulk of them are low-grade.

But to get back to the intent of the thread, I already wish it was time for auction #2 for BST, as I would love to add another gem. This was one fine auction!

665 lots, so I'm guessing we here in Net54 have a lot of show and tell remaining!
