<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2776550, member: 76086&quot;]This close to the auction I just dont think you will get a response.&nbsp; They are likely just too busy.&nbsp; Bidder approvals can take varying amounts of time depending on the auction house.&nbsp; I have registered and been approved in minutes by some (and up to $75,000 credit amazingly, others I can choose any amount up to unlimited), others it takes much more time.&nbsp; Some auction houses take their bidders seriously and will actually phone their references for input.&nbsp; I get calls all the time from other dealers asking if I know or have done business with person &quot;X&quot;.&nbsp; I think that is great, and it honestly protects us all, but it does take time.</p><p><br /></p><p>My only advice is to hold steady.&nbsp; At this close point in time assume your bids were entered as that is about all you can do.&nbsp; After all, you may be worrying about nothing.&nbsp; The lots may go much higher than your bids (I have seen this often when houses do pre-bidding followed by live bidding).&nbsp; I once entered a pre-bid on a multiple lot I thought was fair at $1,500.&nbsp; It hammered live for $15,000.&nbsp; I have no idea what treasures were in that lot, but clearly it didnt matter much as my bid was never going to make it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
