I sent a message awhile back, but does anyone know when the next GUU auction will be?

I was about to post the same question.

Chris, what's the scoop?

Re: GUU Auction

I posted the same question in the auction section with no reply. Strange.

Re: GUU Auction

the fall auction is slated to open next week, october 15th, and run through november 4th. catalogs and invites are ready to go and lot info is being uploaded to the new auction site as we speak - our online e-catalog should be ready for perusal by the weekend. you will also begin to see ads for the auction in collector publications (print and online) by the end of this week or early next week as well as news releases and blog entries such as these:

Re: GUU Auction

The auction website still just has the logo.

It would be great if the mods could post a list of lots on the board to give the members a sense of what is going to be on the block as they have in the past.

Re: GUU Auction

I concur. If the mods already know what's in the auction (which it sounds like), a preview would be really nice I can't wait to see what's in it!

Re: GUU Auction

Isn't the start of the auction advertised as October 15th (which obviously isn't until tomorrow)?

Re: GUU Auction

I hope the lots aren't as disappointing as the preview....

Re: GUU Auction

I would go out on a limb and say that the auction probably won't start tomorrow. That's my guess. Its dead on here, no info.

A quick update:

As mentioned, we are launching a new auction site with this auction and it's going to be bigger than our previous auctions. However, due to some additional work that needed to be done with the new auction software and some last minute special consignments that we felt we just couldn't exclude, we are pushing the auction dates back to October 22nd through November 12th. To fill this gap we are targeting having our e-catalog ready for viewing by this weekend.

I believe everyone is going to see with this auction the commitment we are making to take GUU Auctions to the next level. We have brought in additional personal to handle the growth and we are very happy with the new auction site as well as our upgraded collateral materials such as our new catalog design. I am also confident that everyone will see the work that has gone into this auction and the direction we are headed.

On a final note, as was the case with our previous auctions, we will be removing the ‘Collector to Collector Classified’ forum on the GUU site during the auction. We will be doing this for the benefit of our consignors so other items will not be competing with theirs during the auction.

We look forward to bringing you this exciting auction as well as additional auctions going forward. In fact, for those interested in consigning to GUU Auctions, we will be having a Super Bowl auction this coming February and will be accepting consignments as soon as the Fall auction goes live.
