Could someone explain why people bid for tracking on Heritage Auctions instead of using the Watch feature?  I understand on other auction formats that don't have an active tracking system but why on Heritage?

I'm currently tracking a few pages. It separates things you're seriously interested into another tab of My Bids.

Good point.    You can separate  items you’re just watching the market on from items you actually want to bid on.   I’ve done that at times myself.

I don't think it's shilling (for the most part).  I think it's mostly people propping up prices of pieces that are similar to theirs.  So for example, when a Byrne X-Men piece is up for auction, owners of other Byrne X-Men pieces will put in bids to establish their floor price.  Some might put in more aggressive bids to juice the bidding because they want the Byrne X-Men OA market to appear strong and vibrant.

This describes my bidding on Schulz strips. At some price point I am buying all of them.

makes you look like more of a VIP to Heritage, with all of your bidding activity.....then they will treat you better when you auction your own stuff .........

Buscema Wolvie cover already at 84K

Byrne x-Men splash at 66K

Ditko Spidey 32 page is $105K

Perez Avengers cover is 69K

Maybe a handful more lots off to a strong start, else bidding is quite restrained (for now)

[Silver Surfer]

I think some of these key DM pieces are going to go bonkers. Two auctions of teasing with great stuff but anyone who were under bidders might be coming back hard on this one.

The Perez Avengers #168 cover already at $93k with BP. Given the fast start, and that it's easily one of the Top 3 covers from the peak Avengers era, where does this one finish? $200K??

Definitely could see it hitting $200k.  It is a real nice example.  I am glad Perez isn't in my wheelhouse.

I think the people interested in this should be thrilled that the characters aren't covered in ants or we're looking at a cool million.

This era of Avengers is totally my jam ...and it's always been way out of reach for me. I'm just hoping to get a panel page from the Korvac Saga at some point. Because after all, having two kidneys is way overrated

Not terribly picky. I'd love to find one with Wonder Man ...if you have one, feel free to DM me.

Can you elaborate on what do you mean by "treat you better"?  Lower commissions?  Or were you just kidding?  

[jjonahjameson11]

Ditko ASM 32 page is at $111K

Buscema Wolvie 1 cover already at $198K

And there is still a lot of time remaining.

This one is still low but I expect it will creep up and then really pop in the live bidding

Private jets, limos to pick you up at the airport, comped hotel rooms, etc.

tongue firmly in cheek ...... but who knows if they notice how much activity associated with your account. In terms of lower commissions, is directly proportional to the $$$$$ of the item you are bringing to auction
