Closing Tonight: Love of the Game Auctions

[prestigecollectibles]

I think a lot of people don't realize that the auction format is often determined by the company hosting the auction site and not the individual AH. I use Createauction, the same as RMY, REA, Memory Lane, Lelands, etc. The whole platform is the same for each AH. We can not see autobids and the auctions are set to close when there are no bids for 15 minutes. We can manually end the auction if we want but that is the only other option.

That's pretty interesting. I never would have assumed the platform could be so inflexible. Maybe it needs to be requested at the auction house level from the programmers.

The platform is the nicest to navigate of any that I've dealt with, so definitely understand using it.

On a separate note, I keep peeking at your auctions hoping that a nice 1931 Tour of Japan ball will show up so I can upgrade mine... I used to own a gorgeous copy but (regrettably) sold it.

You can also do like REA and require initial bids to be in by noon and close the auction no later than midnight.

REA is like Xmas.
When does the INVOICES show up? I have yet to get a email or able to pay on their LOTG site.
