HERITAGE FEB 2015 - Spam Free Edition

[Doc Joe]

The interminable wait is nearly over...just two days until the Heritage auction!

 

I'm freaking out

 

going for three pieces but of course the one I really want is the last of the three...this will temper bidding on the first two...could end up with a goose egg

 

here is to hoping for internet outage across 4/5 of America like that time before...go North Korea...do your thing.....

Bidding seems slow. Fireworks tomorrow, I guess?

Depends on the piece....some stuff is well past expectations.

Bidding seems slow.

 

It's the slowest I've ever seen it.

[suspense39]

definitely slow, except for what i have my eye on.

[stinkininkin]

Totally agree that things are slow (except a few items). Same with the Clink, but not sure if that one heats up closer to the end.

Probably just the stuff that I like that spiked then.

Long few weeks, just glad I realised that bidding is tomorrow and not Friday as usual.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[NelsonAI]

Slow?

 

Families away during winter recess?

 

Preparing for the Chinese Lunar New Year (Thursday Feb 19 - Happy 4713 for all those that celebrate)?

 

Everyone mistakenly thinking the auction closes on Friday?

 

All of the above?

 

Cheers!

hmm I wonder if the change in timing is throwing more people off

[Lago32]

Or maybe people are finally waking up to the fact that it doesn't make any sense to show your cards and bid prior to the final moments of the auction.

Prices don't seem that far off. I think there's just not a lot of material in this one that the "Big Dogs" are interested in.

 

X-Men 162 cover is nice, but if that is your catalog's cover image, it's not your strongest offering of auction items.

yes! very true. Its nice enough, but the cover?

[vodou]

You guys worry too much. Even if the bottom was falling out, the dealers would put the bids in needed to make it all look right. For at least one or two sales. They're usually the last to realize the jig is up. This one may (or may not) go weak, but it won't belly-up. And there's nothing wrong with that Cockrum on the cover either

[Tokay]

I'm not worried the bottom is falling...I'm just tempering my hopes of getting a piece or two.

[suspense39]

I'm not worried either, I'm just three live bids away from being out on my piece!

[Bird]

I threw a few bids up and am the man on one or two but I do not expect that to last. I had to take off unexpectedly this week so wil be working tomorrow instead of attending the live auction. So my best bids are in on tomorrow'stuff that interests me, let's see where I land. I have my eye on a few Saturday items as well.

 

A peanuts sunday at $7K? No we aren't done yet by a long shot.

(thumbs u

I'm gonna be around for the live auction tmrw. Why bid early?

[NelsonAI]

Generally speaking, individuals on a fixed total budget for the auction like to bid early. If they get outbid on their maximum bid for an item early in the process, they can re-deploy the funds to a different item and go all out on the last day.
