<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4499563, member: 19463&quot;]If everyone bid wat was honestly their MAX there would be no raises.&nbsp; The problem I see is the merging of mail bids and live bids since the two do not mesh fairly.&nbsp; Live auctions allow people to bid one advance at a time until there was only one paddle in the air.&nbsp; Mail bids used to allow us to send in a number and we either won or lost never knowing the status until the end.&nbsp; If unable to attend in person, we had the option of bidding by phone or using an agent who did attend but now every coin is auctioned twice with the first one only counting if the second failed to draw interest.&nbsp; Now that we have no live sales with rooms full of Covid breathing people, the auction houses have to get creative to keep the live concept kicking lest they turn into just runners of ail sales.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know an answer that could possibly be pleasing to all.&nbsp; The news is filled with businesses changed forever by the quarantine.&nbsp; Perhaps this will be another industry that is changed forever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
