Default Barry Sloate Auctions Closes June 28
Posted By: barrysloate

My online auction will close tomorrow night June 28 at 6:00 PM for qualifying bids. After a three hour "bonus" period (I'm still trying to figure out what the bonus is) a 15-minute clock on the entire auction will begin at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. When that clock ends, the auction will be done.

We will also take phone bids for those who prefer the old fashioned way. And we will be around to answer any questions about auction procedure or other related matters. But please don't ask what time the auction will close- because I don't know. This is a new system for me and it will only end when the clock strikes zero.

Thanks to all who have bid so far and good luck!

Will the web site be updated in "real time"... even if someone calls in a phone bid??

To answer Hal's question, the 15 minute clock will begin at 9:00 PM EST. I believe all a bidder needs to do is refresh the screen to see the status of the clock. If it's running down to zero, simply place a bid and it resets to 15 minutes.

Was that the question you asked?

The PRICES.

If the computer shows an item for $500...

and then someone CALLS you and raises it to $700...

how does the computer know?


Or will it?


Should anyone rely on what the computer prices show after 6:00... or is a call to you necessary??

The prices on the Catalog page as well as the Lot Detail pages will show current prices as long as you refresh the page (even if it was "phoned in")that you are currently on. You can also go to your MyAccount (or if you are a consignor go to the consignor page)page and refresh it to get the current bidding.

Hal- also, if someone chooses to call in a bid, I type the bid in for them. All I need is their username and I can take care of it.

And the computer will be completely up-to-date. Nobody needs to call unless they prefer to do so.

I received scans of the front AND back of that card in Mastro. I believe it to be a very nice card for the grade. This 3 is sweet, but $7,300 is pretty healthy bidding.

All the late teens- early 20's lots are getting more bids than the cards a decade after or a decade before. There's a new sheriff in town.

I have always liked that 1916/17 genre but I just can't get in the lead on one of those dang cards.

I think the balance of cards in that lot had more value than people gave them credit for.

I thought I was going to spend a lot of money in Barry's auction, but it doesn't cost much to be the underbidder.

The auction officially ended at 11:40, as 15 minutes went by without a bid and it automatically shut off.

The auction as a whole did very well, but there were peaks and valleys. Some cards were spectacular, most went about where I expected, and a few appeared to underperform. I think somebody got a bargain with lot #1- where were you guys?

I am unable to log in due to a "parser" error. Not sure if I won anything. Do the "final bids" include the BP?

Barry:

I bought my SGC 40 Joe Jackson card in December for $16K from a very knowledgeable collector who seemingly was not in a rush to sell. I believe we had a recent market spike for that card that is an aberation. There was a lot of pressure on that card at lower grades which translated to higher prices on the mid-grade cards. The card in your auction went for $20K which I believe to be more in line with true market than the $30Kish that the SGC 40 went for in Mastro.

There's a good deal of volatility right now and if three similar examples sold for 16K, 20K, and 30K, it's tough to figure what its true value is. I am noticing more volatility with cards now than in the past. Some go crazy, others are flat, and there is no solid explanation for it.

Frank- you were successful but we should take the details offline. If the total shows cents then that includes the BP, since the bidding itself was rounded off to the nearest dollar. Let me get all of this cleared up sometime this morning.

And thanks again to all who participated.

Great auction, Barry! congratulations!
As computer illiterate as I am, i must say that i had an easy time doing
this auction on-line with very little help from my always computer savvy wife.
I didn't win cards this time but did win some self-confidence in this
on-line auction arena.
Thanks and kudos to YOU, Barry.

all the best,

Barry
