mrbarlint Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hello all, I have recently gotten back into collecting after many, many years and have been picking up many books form the boards here, my LCS, eBay and some YouTube auctions. I am having a lot of fun picking up older books from when I was a kid as well as moderns. With regards to live YouTube auctions, there is one show hosted by two sellers where one of the sellers bids on the other seller's books. What are your thoughts on this? Very curious of your opinions. Thanks. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbarlint Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Any thoughts on whether the hosts (sellers) should bid on each other's lots during a live auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzMan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I would avoid that. I saw Torpedo do one of these prior to the pandemic and it seemed more like the home shopping network. It didn't seem very trustworthy, in both directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
