Hal LewisI consigned 43 items to the Mastro Auction.
1 item ended at 10:00 pm CST with only 1 bid.
The other 42 items ended exactly at 12:30 CST with ZERO bids placed during the "extended" bidding period that started at midnight.
ZERO LAST MINUTE BIDS????
43 different items of all years, make and model...
and ZERO last-night bids on my items???
Obviously the only deduction that can be made from this is that everyone is putting in their "max bids" early and just going to sleep these days.
That...
or the consignor is getting screwed because the people who are still awake and being outbid on other items are TOO LATE to go back and bid on closed items like mine.
Not saying anything is "fixed" of course, because the final prices for my items seem to be great.
I was just SHOCKED to see all 43 close this early.
Anyone else have a similar story??
Maybe the internet bidding was broken?
