Having said that, the format seems like a headache if you're seriously bidding on lots of items, and I see no valid reason to have the requirement that you must place a bid prior to the extended bidding session in order to be a bidder once extended bidding begins. alxjhnsn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried a half a dozen times (at least) to fully quit Coke Zero and I cannot. I quit smoking easier and permanently over 25 years ago.

Yes as I commented above I think it can lead to decision fatigue unless you have a very good plan going on. My two most memorable examples were trying to buy multiple consecutive pages from a book being split up and the Al Williamson Star Wars tryout strips that Hakes sounds. In the former case I ended up with a bit of a mishmash, in the latter case I ended up with nothing. ShallowDan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I ceased my bidding at CC since 2018, I have not bid anything at HA for four years and I never won anything but one at Hakes. Mycomicshop is using the extended bidding too but I haven’t bid for two years. Got tired of being outbids at all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodou Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I never thought of it that way, you'll never lose an auction lot if you don't bid. Life Lesson? ShallowDan and Will_K 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious where you are buying or have you stopped buying for the past few years as well. No sarcasm here and genuinely interested.

No, I am tired of being dragging into the unnecessary expensive expenses. For CC, They can see my secret bids. They kept outbidding me. I tried to outbid them but they knew my secret bids. Vince made money out of me. I used to buy many books from CC long before the buyer's premium. I never like their new website. For Heritage, 20% buyer's premium isn't that bad but the bidders are always aggressive upon my bidding. It became more expensive. HA must add the sales tax and their shipping is outrageously overpriced. My state must tax on the shipping cost. Now, HA adds the extending time. It gets too expensive right now. Ironically, those bidders decided to resell their books and they received losses instead profits. I never understand them. HA is always looking more money. It's out of fun. For Hakes, the auction is nearly ended. If I bid that book in less than a hour in prior to the end, it extends 8 MINUTES!!! That gives them more time to outbid me. I won only once in 12 years. For MCS, I love their auction but they are too aggressive upon me. Extending time killed me at all the time. I paid too much for the low grade book. I won the books but the buyer's premium, overcharged shipping costs and sales taxes are overwhelmed. I have enough.

RBerman Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The market has simply increased in value in recent years, so sticker shock is understandable for those who remember cheaper days. And yes, some of it is the add-on costs of the online auction process. But another thing that keeps bids high is anonymous bidding. Collectors like to be on good terms with their peers so they can enjoy each other's collections. If we were all in a room together (as indeed happens at places like the OAX auction and the Heroes Con auction), there's at least some incentive to compete less fiercely against each other and just congratulate the other guy on his new art. Not that Heritage is immune to collusive "gentlemen's agreements" among high-end buyers who like the same pieces. But it takes more work.
