Re: Questionable Bidding-Major Auction Houses?
I bid on several items in the Historic Auctions and won 1 item which was the Carlos Lee HR Derby used bat. I reviewed the items I got outbid on and wasn't surprised because my bids were average bids. Nothing I got outbid on seemed suspicious. My only issue with the auction was the same old problem of questionable items but you find those in every auction. Overall, I thought they had some great items, and I look forward to their Spring auction.
Like Reid, I bid on Mastronet, Lelands, Grey Flannel and of course eBay. I lost every bid on the Lelands Cardinals auction which I was very disappointed because I went way above what even the auction value estimates were and I still got outbid. This happens all the time in auctions.
My only bad experience I have had recently with an auction house which I documented on the Forum was with the last Geppi's auction where I was the high bidder but Jim Pratt told me that there were computer errors which showed me as outbid. I took him for his word that it was an error. In fact Jim said he was sending me a very nice gift as their apology for the error----which I still haven't received.

Re: Questionable Bidding-Major Auction Houses?
I do find it interesting that on the night of the auction closing my original bid of $5,000 would hold from 9 PM - the official close time - until 11 AM the next day and then I would be outbid by more than double my $5,000 bid 1/2 hour before they decided to change the auction 15 minute rule and close the auction.
Also, has anyone ever heard of an auction house 15 minute rule lasting 15 hours because of people in Japan?

I know that Chris and you do an excellent job of making this forum a great place for meaningful and valuable dialogue, but wanted to share my observation.
As always, thanks for your diligence and for such a great site.
