Barry - Congratulations on the success of the new format! The fact the auction was closed before 1 AM is fantastic and hopefully what you have implemented here can serve as the model for other auction houses. |

Barry's extended bidding period lasted just less than 7 hours; REA's lasted just less than 12 hours. Considering the exponential difference in lots, I'm not sure that Barry's model applied to REA would have made any difference. |

Matt, good point on REA closing down sections at a time. While it may make a difference, I suspect next year at around 330 am at the end of the REA auction the same bunch of us will be out here bitching. |

I'm going to purchase a time machine so I can travel back in time and get orders out more quickly. Jeff, I would run over the Brooklyn Bridge and hand deliver your card, but it's cold and rainy today. I'll bring it instead to the post office tomorrow. |

Nice results- once I realized I was getting blown out on the Red Hindu Griffith, I redirected and grabbed my secondary targets (E95's); yea! |

Congratulations to Barry for another great auction. Prices appeared to be very strong (I was outbid on the lots I was interested in). |

David - I believe your supposition is correct - prices at major auction houses almost always bring more then similar items on ebay. Perhaps the buyers like knowing they don't have to worry about the source and the vehicle of payment. |

I am not sure if I buy differently than others but lately, with all of the ebay issues, I look less frequently than before. Don't get me wrong as I still watch ebay. But the auctions are more legit and there are no reprints and scams to wade through. The auction "excitement" might account for some of the higher prices too.... |

Already printed the invoice, Barry. I was getting ready to change my password to "underbidder" after your last couple of auctions. |

Hmmmm, looks like that courier in the picture is holding the box containing my E98 set which disappeared during a UPS shipment 5 years ago. John, maybe you should give her my card so we could discuss things. |

With off-ebay auctioneers who are knowledgeable about the material and reputably, people are not only more confident that the item is as described but they are more confident sending a big check. One reason why a $100,000 book price item will sell more in a REA than on eBay is that people are more confident sending that big check to REA. In particular with big price items, known and reputable sellers are often preferred. |

I suspect that for a number of very well healed collectors/investors, they simply won't buy on eBay and spend stritcly at Mastro et al auctions. These would be the types who spend $30,000 on a jersey or $100,000 on an autograph. This likely is because they don't trust eBay and that, for the amount on $$ they are spending, they only go through well known quantities. This would explain high prices on many high end items. |
