<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3250190, member: 84744&quot;]Wow, everyone!&nbsp; Super congrats on all the exciting wins, and thanks so much for your enthusiastic participation!&nbsp; I feel like I&#039;ve just run a marathon, and I&#039;m so grateful for all the support of my friends here on CT.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t have done it without you, in a very real sense.&nbsp; Thank you!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>As many noted, quite a few of the coins went for a steal.&nbsp; I think that&#039;s inevitable in the early days of any auction house, when growing the bidder base.&nbsp; That said, I&#039;m very happy with some of the good prices I got for my consignors on the higher quality coins.&nbsp; And for the coins that went cheaply, my 120% guarantee and low consignment terms should mean that my consignors are just as well off having gone with AMCC rather than a bigger, more established auction house who would have taken a big cut.</p><p><br /></p><p>So everybody wins!&nbsp; Um, except... did I make any money? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Maybe not, but that&#039;s how it goes when you&#039;re starting a business, right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=96635]@Pavlos[/USER], [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER], and [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER]: Sorry you got skunked, guys. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I thought both of those coins were in particularly lovely style... I&#039;m glad some of Justin&#039;s faves went to CoinTalk family.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, if anybody needed evidence that there were bargains to be had... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think Justin&#039;s experience was repeated a number of times in the pick-bin section, but not as many times as I expected.&nbsp; The prices were very low, yet many went unsold.&nbsp; Maybe C_A is right and the lower value coins should go in the main section?&nbsp; I tend to think not, as the bidders at higher levels are more likely to stay away from the auction entirely.&nbsp; I&#039;ll have to think about what might make the pick-bin section more popular.&nbsp; Make it smaller &amp; be more selective, perhaps.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Fantastic coin, that one!&nbsp; I&#039;m jealous. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Congratulations again!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My sentiments mirror Erin&#039;s exactly, directed to my bidders and consignors.&nbsp; Thank you, all!&nbsp; It was a huge amount of work but also an enormous amount of fun putting this thing together.&nbsp; Next time will be a lot easier because much of the work was one-time-setup kinds of things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am planning the next auction for the spring.&nbsp; Let me know if you&#039;re interested in consigning... CT friends get a great deal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; (But do let your non-CT friends know about AMCC too so I can actually make some moolah to support my coin habit! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
