<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 3094377, member: 76181&quot;]I did not bid this time around, however I have recently bid at Christie&#039;s and Skinners&#039; &quot;online only&quot; auctions. They both use a system that gives an expiry time for the lot, but any bids in the last minute result in 5 minutes added to the expiry time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say, I did not get a chance to live like a Rockefeller (Christies) but I did figure out how to win a couple of nice bronze statues from Skinner using this format. As I bid at Christies live (the premier lots,) I realized the rooms were full of Clios. A $3k estimate item sold for over $1.5 Million.&nbsp; We losers of the live auction sought refuge in the online only auction. We slaughtered each other in that one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sniping would have been a mercy but Sniping SW is of little use with this other system. It requires a modified strategy and creates a different type of angst.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
