Watching An Auction.

Did you look on their site (ha.com) click through to the auction and see the yellow and red button labeled "Live Auction"?

I watched a bit of it today too. I wish the 1st auctioneer would have called in sick. At least he wasn't handling the coins...

It's strangely boring - whether it's a few hundred dollars or a hundred thousand it's the same drill. Lot 61... couple bids... anyone at (value). Sold (buyers number). Repeat. 30-40s/lot, with only a few getting any serious bidding. By the time you finish reading the description, it's sold.

I never bid on line at any leading auction, such as Heritage.
Instead, I do lots of homework, and
lodge a maximum price written proxy bid.

Sometimes, I win at a lower price than my written bid.

No need to pay any attention to the auction. If you are successful, you will be informed.

That way, you do not become a victim of your own bad instantaneous decisions. Instead you can forget about the auction, and do your job instead. No need to hassle any employer.

You win or you loose. That does not bother me one jot either way.

I only treasure my new acquisition after it has taken it's place in my collection.
