REA - dammit I'm out already

[ClementeFanOh]

Any of you smart enough to consign rather than buy, are already ahead of
me My rule with REA is to just come out with one win per auction, just one.
We shall see... Trent King

I'm in a similar position, put in 5 strong bids (I thought), I'm out on 3 already have 2 left with a little room but think I'm only have a true chance at one of them and it's not the one I really want.

Title of the thread reminds me of Roy;

Prior I put in a lot of preliminary bids and then some upped on the key ones I was thinking of.
Currently leading on 1 but most are already above my comfort zone
I will make it to round two but will probably be KO’d

[dfletch00]

Im out already ... but Tribe/ Guardians won so its a good day..ha

[IndyDave]

I’m down to one. Just upped the bid one more increment. Doubt it holds. We will see

Good luck to all

I was out shortly after I posted this - the lot of B18 blankets was my last one alive. I have a couple dozen and thought the lot of 41 would be a good way to grow my collection. I was about 50% under the winning bid so I wasn't even close.

Strong prices. The 20% buyers premium played into my bids though.

[LincolnVT]

The early stuff was so cool to see. Jackson and Ruth prices continue to be out of this world.

[ullmandds]

Well...I read about the "downage" this morning...I no longer stay up late for auctions...no card is more important than my sleep!

I was relieved to have been outbid on 1 card...I DID win one. Happy to add this ruth to my stable.

Yes. A buyer's premium of any amount plays into everyone's bids.

I was bidding on that Ruth type 2, but I lost steam. I did find the same photo (same stamp) on eBay for $20k obo. I think they list it as a 1916 photo. Not sure what year it was printed as this one from the 1930s.

Was hoping to win one or both of the E90-1 Wagners. Needless to say, I got neither. Underbidder on the batting and blown out of the water on the throwing. I'll probably just break up my set now.

[TigerMike]

Battled to the bitter end on the Wagners...ultimately just some others to chase for now. Ed let me know if you break your set up!
