Great card!

If anyone here won the T210 Bluegrass League near set and has buyer’s remorse, give me a shout!

Thanks,
Bob

Struck out on several.
Missed out on some of the other bottles but glad to add this one to the collection.
The hand held game is a duplicate but it's just so dang cool I don't mind owning another and cheaper than I paid for my first one.
The figural is actually a business card holder and similar but different than another one I have.
The game card supplement is down Leon's alley and unfortunately I'm missing the playing field but will keep my eyes open.

The lot by lot closing was fine but man oh man having to click on each individual lot to see that lot's countdown clock was stressful and absolutely unnecessary. Overall I like the website but that part of it absolutely needs changed. I was frantically clicking on about 14 different items in overtime to see how much time each lot had whereas I should have been able to just refresh my bid list to see all the clocks together.

Great pickups, Michael. I agree the website needs tweaking, as it was lagging quite a bit last night.

I know many east-coasters like the individual lot closing, but I hate it. I was outbid at the closing on at least half a dozen lots, and when I tried to switch to something else, those lots had just closed. I wish they'd just keep the entire auction open like they used to. I bet many consignors left significant money on the table.

Also, I'm going to PM you on that Pirate Whisky Bottle. I have a shot glass with those exact etched graphics, that would nicely compliment your newly acquired Bottle.

Congrats on some awesome pickups, although it's a bit disappointing REA didn't know what that figural Business Card Holder was. They've sold a few in the past, and I have one!

-1 for me.

I suspect that plenty of us either give up or decline to participate in auctions that run all night until the wee hours of the next morning.

I guess we can debate whether the net effect is positive or negative on final bids. But personally, the all night approach is a real drag on my motivation to participate.

Yeah, I get it... And I'm sure most people are in your camp.

Did not mean for this to turn into yet another thread on auction closing formats. I know that's been done to death, and opinions are like a$$holes...everybody has one, and thy usually stink.

I was just venting, as there were 4 or 5 lots I would've pursued, had they not closed mere seconds before I could make the switchover. My budget is finite, so I could not go all-in on everything that I was eyeing prior to the overtime.

I hear you.

I guess there’s no perfect system that always works for everyone all the time.

I suspect this system works better for me largely because I’m typically only in on 2-3 lots at most in any one auction. I might put in placeholder bids on a half dozen or more, but by the time we get to extended bidding, I’m usually down to a very short list. So I’m rarely having to juggle multiple priorities and try to figure it out while the clock keeps running me down.

Drove me insane along with the inability to easily see which lots I was winning. I finally gave up and went to sleep.
