Here's something that I never saw done by an Auction House

I have seen it a bunch of times in auctions. Usually a high grade set that they try to sell both ways as single card or set. Which ever is the highest bidder the sets versus the singles wins the auction.

Yes, I have seen it before, if the individual bids are higher in total than the set, the individual bids win.

Have seen many times but usually they are much more explicit about it.

I usually don't bid on whole sets so maybe that's why I never saw this. It certainly was not very clear especially in the individual lots.
I guess an AH can do whatever they want. As a bidder, I can certainly find another AH.

mile high does this I believe..but they also take forever to return cards that they didn't receive payment on and agree t return..

not sure how someone would ever bid more on a set versus the individual cards....the winner is always going to be the individual cards added together..cause if the cards added to less..the guy wanting to buy the set could of just been the high bidder on all the cards...and add up to less than bidding on the full set and he would go that route

The odds of an individual winning all the individual cards don't seem good. He would have a better chance to get all the cards if he won the whole set at once.

not if the individual cards add up higher in that auction which ALWAYS happens....I just saying if for some reason they didn't add up higher..than the guy wanting the whole set could easily be the top bidder on all the auctions if it added up less than what he planned on bidding for the set..
