Legendary Auction

[oldjudge]

Leon--You're right. It was not taken down, just hidden from general view. I think this was the wrong decision and hope that in the future you will treat all auction houses the same, something I'm sure you would want for Brockelman and Luckey if someone else controlled the chat board.

Jay- I realize you won't agree with this but I have to say that folks who advertise on the board do get more privileges with announcing their auctions. Doug Allen has declined to advertise and that is fine. I still like Doug and bid in Legendary Auctions. However I do have to give the folks that pay to advertise a good value for their hard earned dollars. They are paying for the right to have their auctions be known to the Net54baseball crowd. Others that don't care to advertise can still post their auctions on the BST page where they are supposed to be. That is my call as I also get to take all of the threats of lawsuits, Cease and Desist orders, and other crap associated with running the board. best regards

Does that mean that for $300 a month you can buy Leon's endless loyalty?

sorry for somewhat O/T, but can someone remind me what time Legendary usually ends? Thanks.

Unfortunately 3 hours later on the east coast than it does on the west coast.......

Hee hee, the only reason I am glad my family relocated from NYC to LA.

On the main topic, my impression was that the purpose of announcing auctions on the main board was to serve the community by reminding members of when auctions are starting or ending. I've found that helpful in the past as I sometimes lose track of a given auction. Having the announcements in the BST isn't as helpful, IMO, since I tend to cruise through the main board several times a day but frequent the BST far less often.

Phil -

Auctions end at the same time on both coasts. It's the earth's rotation that's the issue.

I've lived on both sides and I'll tell you that this "West Coast advantage" is a myth: late is late.

"You must place an initial bid on an item before 9:00 PM Central Time on auction closing day to be eligible to bid on that item during the extended bidding period that starts at 10:00 PM. If you are the only bidder on a given lot at 9:00 PM then that lot is automatically closed out and you are declared the winner. At 10:00 PM Central Time, the 30 Minute Rule starts and EACH lot will close individually after that lot goes 30 minutes with no new bids. Whenever a new bid is placed, the 30-minute timer will be reset and the countdown will restart."

My favorite item is the 1881 Chicago BB Club imperial cabinet but I'm sure that we all know where that lot is going to go.........

Thanks Jay, couldn't remember if it was by lot or all at once.
