<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5213623, member: 101855&quot;]I’ll pay it. I am sick and tired of auctions. You see something you like, and some bozo or two drives the bids to the moon. I get hosed at auction 95% of the time. I can count on one hand the times I got “a bargain” over the last 20 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>One time I watched a lot I upon which I had left a reserve close on-line at an attractive price. I waited for 40 lots to make sure they didn’t re-open it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The next day I saw on a blog where that lot had sold for more than it had closed for at the auction. I called the auction house. Their answer:</p><p><br /></p><p>“Oh we missed a ‘snail mail’ bid that we didn’t execute.” </p><p><br /></p><p>Like HE**!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie95" alt=":vamp:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The auction hammer dropped. What are you talking about? We are talking about $1,000 here. You didn’t get the price you expected so you hosed me. </p><p><br /></p><p>At one time auction house in the running to my collection. No more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
