Congrats.

I won a couple of items too.

At the top of "My Auction Bids" there should be a button on check out my purchases or whatever in blue.  Just click on that.

Ah, I see it. Thanks, Malvin. I kept looking under “My Account.” 
 

Congrats on your wins tonight. I finally found something I liked at the right price point to give CL the ol’ practice run for a larger purchase.

Yeah, i consigned several items and they went LOW. I begged them to put my art in the previous auction but they pushed it off to this one, only to fall flat after the marathon Heritage auction. Lame. I really just can’t do Comic Link any more. Too many poor performances in my very small sample size.

I had 4 items in this one that were kinda all over the place, but overall good with the results. I will say that I don’t think Clink does the best job of hyping the focused auctions the days before like they do their featured - and without the daily tracking emails like what you get with heritage, it’s easy to forget the auction’s ending. I probably would have forgotten about it if not for having pieces up.

I had 4 items too.  Two of them I was really pleased with.  2 were bleh, but I don't think they would have done any better if they were at HA (and since these are low end items, I definitely would not have done better after fees).

This is why I just can’t do CL if the art is not going in their premium auction. There are no descriptions. Art finishes way too late into the night. And if it follows a marathon HA auction, your lots will suffer from the buyers’ fatigue. I will give them this: your low-end items are likely to find a buyer, even if they finish wholesale, which is better than sitting stale on eBay or CAF Classifieds. But I believe if you know what you have, no one is a better salesman of your art than you, which is why I love Comic Art Live. I had run out of inventory by selling in the first three shows so I put up low value sketches and such and I was amazed how much I sold, making a few bucks. Ultimately, there still is a demand for 2-figure art for collectors who can’t collect in the high end.

I didn't know "comic art" on CL was "on" until I got the "day of" e-mail telling me lots were beginning to close at 8pm ET. Yeah, whatever. I still didn't bid (just couldn't be bothered), but I gave HA Sunday 9 hour marathon over $1,000 of my business, just how it goes.
