Heritage Auction Question

[glchen]

James, for those cards that you were interested, did you already have a previous bid on those cards or was that the first time that you tried to place a bid on that item? If it was the first time, these auctions have a concept of extended bidding where if you did not place an item before the extended period began, then you cannot place a bid on that item. This may have been the issue what you ran into.

For auctions that are also Live, which isn't common with cards, but very common with coins, you can place a bid on an item during the Live part of the auction even if you never had a bid on the item before. That is, the rules are different for auctions that are Live.

Has anyone used Gavelsnipe on a Heritage auction???
I have not, and while I did some reading...if using paypal creditials, you have to disable the secondary SMS security key....blah blah blah...
There is 1 item I am interested in, and pondered using it for this item. But heck, I must be too stupid to figure how to drag or paste a URL...I just cant get the darn thing to work. Screw it and did the standard method...and all I did was jack the price up and got outbidded later on.
I for one am not a late night drinker or party go-er or watching the nightly news hours on end on political jargin...rather have my sleep and whatever happens does.

I haven't placed a bid with HA but did use Gavelsnipe this past week on eBay, after seeing it mentioned here. What amused me was that when I tried to register it said my id was already in use. I tried my usual password and lol, I had used it three years ago.
I also saw the mention of the SMS security key and ignored it. I won a couple of auctions so it wasn't a problem for me.
Sorry I couldn't help with your question on HA.

I had already placed bids. I was trying to raise them.

Not sure what happened then, unfortunately. Could it be the browser you were using? I think I was using Microsoft Edge, and via iPhone Safari, and had no problems bidding during extended time.

I actually also used gavelsnipe to bid during this past Heritage auction, and it worked perfectly. You just copy the URL from the Heritage page where you are looking to bid on a single item, and put that in gavelsnipe with your bid. Note that the bid is BEFORE BP, and that all increment rules apply. That is, if your snipe isn't higher than the amount of the next increment, the bid will fail. In addition, the snipe is executed right before Extended time begins, so if you haven't placed a previous bid, that is also fine. I usually don't put snipes for Heritage, but wanted to have on for insurance in case I got busy during the auction close time.

Thanks, Ben! Very happy to win that WWG Gehrig card. Really surprised we haven't seen more winnings from Heritage on this board and they had a lot of great stuff.

I had 3 bids and won 2 of them. Thankfully they replaced the RC's I once had.
The only thing this time during payment...that I had to use E-check.

This is my first auction win(s) with Heritage, so I had a question. I won 2 lots consisting of just over 180 PSA graded cards and I paid once my invoice was ready using PayPal. My question is, will Heritage send me a tracking number once they ship the my winnings?

Thanks in advance.

Edited to add: As far as navigating the site it is a little confusing, but I took my time and read all the rules and had a fairly good understanding of how their auctions work.
