But then she pushed it into my face, and said “You look at your nerd porn - I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy”.

Haha - “nerd porn”- that’s hilarious

I received my catalog over the weekend. I had already submitted a handful of bids online. I've been drooling over the catalog ever since it rolled in. I have put sticky notes on a lot of items and have submitted additional bids, but, in every case I have been outbid. I fully though my bids could stand (even with the 20% buyer premium) in most cases. At this point I have 0 winning bids out of 29 tries.

I will revisit the bidding before the cut off time, which I believe is 6pm, and determine if I can venture any more money. I am probably going to give up on the early stuff, but do like some of the autographed items as well as the Non-sports stuff in the back of the book.

Good luck to everyone bidding.

Never received mine. I was out of town during Thanksgiving weekend, and wonder if I got porch-pirated??? Bet they were disappointed!

From my perspective, this is one of the slowest REA auctions ever, at least to this point. Eleven of the twenty nine lots I consigned have no bids. Of the lots I have bid on, most have not moved in days. Perhaps that will change after Heritage and Leland’s end.

I think this is an almost certainty. Crazy busy auction week(s) with loaded auctions. But always makes me feel better when my consignments have at least 2 bids headed into extended bidding. Always hoping for bidding wars! Except for the things I want of course!

I was looking at an item in Heritage and was a low under bidder. Totally forgot about it. Last time I looked it was like 4K. Was shocked this am to see it sold for near 20k with the juice. I think bidding habits have changed a great deal. People don’t run things up and hold their powder. Seems like 75% of bidding on high end items now comes last 36 hours.

And often 50% or more in last hour. Watch it happen Sunday night! Insane frenzy right before close.
