Legendary Auction

[botn]

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

No, but maybe $350 and we can talk!!

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.

And Doug still didn't follow the rules. The announcements in the BST don't get the amount of publicity as the main board, I agree with that.

Why would you buy the cow if you can milk it for free? best regards

Because you want steak?

I thought it was because we don't whine over little earth tremors like they do on the east coast?

Why should he have not moved it? First of all, they broke the rules. Second, they don't advertise here. There's absolutely no reason for Leon to allow Legendary Auctions to post an advertisement in the main board. I really don't see an argument.

Boy, are we getting blasted just because we're afraid of small earthquakes. Wait until the day LA gets a foot of snow- we'll see how you guys deal with that.

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.

West Coast advantage????? Everything happens so early! You think watching the World Series at 5 PM is convenient?????

[oldjudge]

"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.........

[Bicem]

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

Legendary is ends lot by lot, so the auction won't end at insane times like some auctions do. (Of course, when I consign, I often prefer those insane ending times.)
