^^THIS^^ Way way way too many emails is bad enough. Phone calls would make me put them on ignore and never buy from them again.

EDIT: I just fricken got one of those calls from a AH and when I didn't answer they left a message.

Just curious - how many people that selected "Don't care either way" or "Really don't need it or appreciate it" made that selection in hope that AHs will stop sending closing notifications with the net result being bidders that forget about the closing which results in less competition? Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck

What AHs do this? Do a lot of people actually get calls like this? I'm registered with a lot of different AHs, and I don't remember ever getting a call from any of them reminding me about an auction closing.

The direct calls IMO are an example of the furious competition between AH's to maintain existing clients and attract new ones. Many are softening their terms to benefit consignors. Let them have it.

LOL, it wasn't you but if you get in any T210 Ft Worth players I wouldn't mind a call to let me know.

I can't figure out how the hell you all keep up with so many auction houses, ebay, B/S/T boards, etc,... going on at the same time.

This seems relevant...

97. Gattling Bidder
With a bunch of auctions all ending in quick succession one after another, a person figuring out how to get all of his bids in on time.

See also: Gattling Nun - someone praying to God that all of their bids get in before the close.

I currently have over 40 auction houses in a folder in my favorites (I also collect other things besides sports related). I just reorder them and edit the names to reflect the auction closing date. Works easy enough for me.

I get way too many emails the way it is (not counting the hundreds I get daily for my job). Never have received a call though. I'm sure it's appreciated for deep pockets with specific want lists, but I hope calls don't become a thing for someone like me.

The results of this poll are suprising considering the amount of whining that happens when an auction closes and a bidder forgets to bid and then blames the auction house for ending the auction.

It was on the next page, Frank.

I don't really mind them. I haven't gotten a call from one that I haven't already looked at their auction though. But I look at a lot of auctions.
