rjpb Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I won a single book, but it was slabbed, so I'm not expecting any surprises. I'm still waiting as I paid by check, since Goldin is not set up for ACH or zelle payments, and my bank caps online wire transfers at $1K per day. Hopefully they will have better descriptions on their raw lots in the future. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's higher for a commercial account. jimbo_7071 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldin needs to stick to trading cards. They are going to need some elite books in January to be takin seriously.

It's not just the quality of the inventory...they don't seem to get how to properly sell and describe comics, trying to treat them exactly the same as sports cards, which isn't the right approach.

I will say responses were prompt and otherwise helpful, so don't be too hard on them. Not a big deal to send a check, as that's typically how I pay for comiclink wins as well, but if your bank facilitates it, I would recommend accepting zelle.

Popular Post RareHighGrade Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 Dom, I have to say your company picked the right guy to address the Boards. I'm impressed by how you've managed to stay calm, polite and gracious under the barrage of often hostile comments and inquiries. I hope you folks can iron out the wrinkles and become competitive. It never hurts to have another auction house to consider. szucchini, jimjum12, aardvark88 and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format hardly matters anyway, you can always just put in your max bid whatever it may be at any point on any of these sites, and just go do something else. I usually just put in my max bid the morning of, and I've won plenty for far less than that max bid on all of the major sites. Most of the time I get distracted and forget to bid on an item I want, but sometimes I remember at the very last minute and frantically try to log on. More than once I would have been too slow if I hadn't been saved by the extended bidding. Most of the time I get outbid anyway, but there's nothing worse than forgetting to bid. Comiclink's format is a bit difficult to time. Several years ago I attempted to bid on a must-have book and waited too long. Even thought the timer said that I had three seconds left when I clicked submit, the system told me that my bid wasn't in time. I was using very fast internet, so three seconds should have been plenty of time. The book sold for substantially less than my (attempted) max bid. waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im working very very hard to make the goldin comic department a force to be reckoned with. Given some time I have no Doubt we will have a very very competitive product for you all.

I wouldn't say sandbagging. We have different kinds of auctions. Not all of them are going to elite level auctions. This past one was not. The next one will be! The goal was to launch late January. But our sports January sports auction looks like its get extended a few days. So we're looking at early February as a probable start for bidding.

Im not sure how long this preview will be or when it will start. But there will be a preview. As I said before though I don't think were every going to run the multi month previews like HA does. We are still working out the exact preview details for this auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
