Nah, i love the extra time and the countdown clock that goes with it. It actually gives me time to analyze the realized prices on Heritage, check the Overstreet for their prices to determine the premium or multiple I would be paying, check the SI for the book in the Gerber Photojournal, see what Chuck's MH catalogue says, and compare my next potential bid against similar surrounding books that have just ended or still going to ensure that I am not overpaying for what I am bidding on. On top of that, it also gives me time to hit the fridge for some food and refreshments which was exactly what I was doing when the AMF's hit the extended bidding.

It has been a lot of fun. I think I have 12 PM chats going, and 10+ auction pages open watching. Great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. Those 30 day auctions don't give me nearly enough time to do my research.

If he left it at $393, he would be the one that would have to go to $397 to get the top bid. At least that's my take on his bidding strategy. Could be.

Good call. Those 30 day auctions don't give me nearly enough time to do my research. No way would I even want to attempt that since it would be a massive undertaking and an absolute waste of time for most of the lots I would be interested in to do any type of detailed analysis. No problem with doing a quick preliminary analysis to get a general idea, but really nothing beyond that to start. Especially since almost all of the books I am interested in would already be well past my price range by the time the extended bidding time period starts. Seeing what's left at the end allows me to focus right in on that book and ignore all of the other ones. Edited June 13, 2017 by lou_fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last bid was Saturday I think. I certainly hope that I didn't jinx the results for this book with my comments from last Saturday: On 6/10/2017 at 4:42 PM, lou_fine said: Although this is definitely a great cover, but I simply don't see $38.5K or whatever it will sell for "worth of goodness" in this book here. Especially when you have a slabbed 9.0 Larson copy and another unslabbed supposedly NM copy out there somewhere. But to each, there own. If so, I do apologize although $38.5K seems to be a very strong price for the book from my point of view. Especially when you consider that it finished up at at something like over 20X condition guide price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to the winner of this endurance contest, whoever you are. 2600 pretty cheap, even for the conserved... How about the AMF V2#1? A super rare Centaur that I really wanted to pick up. Unfortunately it blew right past my top end and finished up at $3,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even tried for 2 of the Splash pages, but lost out on those as well being under bidder on the Mars splash to Planet 24. With great delight I can say I did win this page which has some great panels.

Because you're not getting any sniping bargains? Extended bidding doesn't bother me in the least as a bidder. I know exactly what my maximum is, I put it in and then let it ride. I don't follow the "live" bidding at all. If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. As a seller, I would absolutely love the extended bidding.
