The man made a mistake as he explained. Life goes on. It seems it would generate a lot more confusion to start cancelling everyone's bids. It will be fine.

Would help on a lot of your posts for sure! But you do not think the 1991 Eagles NFL defense is one of the top defenses of all time so you lose all credibility right there

I don't think, I know they weren't. They were one of the best in Eagles history though.

Some damn good players on that Eagle team. Reggie White, Andre Waters, Eric Allen, Clyde Simmons, Jerome Brown. Not the Steelers, but pretty formidable.

also left out seth joyner..also Mike Pitts..william thomas (two pro bowls)

I believe they only gave up one more point than the 1977 Steeler team in 2 less games but i can be wrong

Envious or something. That might be one of the most harmless mistakes ever made and you go ape shi$ on him? No more coffee for you this morning (or last night ).

It is outright foolish to say opening an auction before the announced time makes no difference. It probably doesn't make a difference when your bidding on a friend's auction, or in the hammer price, but sure makes a difference who wins it.


Mistakes can happen, and I don't believe there is an easy fix.

I guess I am foolish.

I have seen countless auctions start before the announced date over the years. Getting bent out of shape over a mistake is foolish and the response by a certain individual is rude and just makes you look like a jerk.

Another Goodwin question: did anyone get a print catalog?

Wow, I just became high bidder on 15 different lots and I'm sure nothing will stick at the current level. But, to those upset, please feel free to boycott the auction. Also, let's hear from anyone who could not get a bid in because of the false opening. The board is a good sample, IMO.

I got a bid in during the "soft opening" for lack of a better term. I was outbid and went to re-up and was locked out saying it was a preview. it is now back open and I placed a bid and it went through. No harm, no foul. I am satisfied to know the reason that things happened the way they did. FOR ME, and I can't speak for anyone else, this will not affect my outcomes in this auction by any stretch of the imagination. Again, that is for me.
I have had no problems with Goodwin in the past, or about this for that matter

Bidders won't know until the end of the auction, whether their high bid would have won, or if someone else's max has taken their "spot" due to the early opening.

If you bid now and become high bidder (as I too just did on a number of lots), then there was no max.
