<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midas1, post: 863636, member: 21309&quot;]Anybody attend the the ABNCo auction Thurs and Friday?&nbsp;&nbsp; I bid from the &#039;Net because I just got back into town and and too many things needed attention so I couldn&#039;t leave home again this time for two days.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; won three three lots but lost the third one, lot #662, due to auction&nbsp; error.&nbsp; Really P.O. me off because it&#039;s a very cool stock certificate including a locomotive turning a bend, miner and a cool title.&nbsp; The sale was pretty overwhelming.&nbsp; I had a tough time following the auctioneer because he kept muting his microphone so I had to follow&nbsp; the bids by text in the online window.&nbsp; Very very difficult for me to keep up and I lost all sense of pacing.&nbsp; At one point I blinked and missed ten pieces, I think it was ten, </p><p>of MPC.&nbsp; Had I been able to hear the auction audio I would have bought the lot.&nbsp; The most expensive piece that I saw was a Hawaiian $500&nbsp; certificate of deposit that went for $11,500.00 plus 18% premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>Next time I&#039;m going to attend not do &#039;Net bidding. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, about 1,800 pieces were sold.&nbsp; I believe Dr Robert Schwartz created the cool catalog and did a lot of other things to keep the event together.&nbsp; He was very helpful after I sent him an email stating I like anything created by ABNCo but had no idea what they are worth and had no experience bidding in online auctions.&nbsp; We spoke several times including the two times he called me.&nbsp; Great guy.&nbsp; I told him about CoinTalk.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.archivesinternational.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archivesinternational.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.archivesinternational.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
