Sometimes it’s hard to complain in 240 characters or less.

Hahaha. I’m actually glad it’s not in January. I’d totally blow a chunk of it at the auctions. Property tax. Savings??? Naaaahhh. Give me a slab

Scott,

I’m really looking forward to the auction. What time on Monday will it be up?

[sb1]

It will be open for bidding at 10:00 am EST Monday Jan 22nd.

Several key pieces that have been out of the hobby for some time, as well as other mainstream Pre-war and a very large selection of Post-war in singles, groups, partial and complete sets from 1948-1972. Part of which is from the original owner circa 1958-1964 of sports and non-sports.

you should have started it the first week of the month. because a lot of cars were sold then.

Some people are making comments about auctions that start in the end of January or simply mocking the OP, but I think he has a very valid point.

For the first 2-3 weeks in January there are almost no active auctions going. This is at a time when tons of people got end-of-year bonuses, holiday gifts, have returns presents they received etc. and have money to spend.

It may not make sense for all the auction houses to change their schedules to have a major auction then, but I imagine if a couple did so, they could benefit from the additional funds (many) people have, combined with it being a dead time hobby-wise.

And while there are many auctions that start towards the end of January, I feel like in many cases by then (especially since the auctions usually run for weeks) people will have spent the money or moved on from the feeling of "I just got a bonus, let me go find something"

Who has no auction in January?? Trying to figure out who the jab was directed at.

Actually, any discussion forum is perfect for doing that. Someone should start a "worst of Net54" thread and you would remember.
