Re: Grey Flannel Spring Auction Is Up!

I've looked through the Grey Flannel FAQs, but couldn't find anything.

Are there hidden reserve prices on Grey Flannel items?

Thank you.

no. whatever item sells for is price buyer gets it at plus bp, shipping and tax, where applicable. if yiu bid minimum and noone else bids the items yours. the house does not bid on behalf of its consignors.

One more piece of info.

If you want to bid on any of the Premier Lots, they will want to verify your ability to pay. They did me via a bank account. Not sure if they have other ways.

When bidding on an item in the Grey Flannel auction, is it better to use the ceiling bid option, or manually bid?

Thanks for any info.

The Gerald White 1986 Big Ten Championship ring I bid on has been removed from the auction. No details or reason.

Bid manually for as close to the minimum as possible then in the OT bidding bid your ceiling. I say this because you have to bid in regulation to be allowed to bid in ot and if you bid your ceiling in regulation especilly days or weeks in advance it won't hold up so I always say throw as small a bid as possible out there in any lot your interested in early to reserve right to bid in ot.

LOOKING FOR SOME ADVICE on auction 'world'

Thinking about putting two items up, Stan Musial flannel 67 and Daryl Spencer flannel 56. They are really one of a kind.

My only concern is that the C2C section limits sale prices to $500 or less, and both items would be likely to be valued higher.

If GUU ever resumes their auctions, the exposure wouldn't be as widespread as eBay, but you'd have more true collectors viewing your items and a lot fewer nickel and dimers.

If GUU doesn't resume, you colud try other auction houses, such as Huggins & Scott, Lelands, or maybe MEARS.
