AH (PWCC) Reality Check Please

[botn]

The market continues to correct, just see Mile High's results, and election night did not help but I am sure there is someone else out there saying, "Auction ended 10:30 pm Wednesday night and the card arrives in my mailbox across the country on Saturday morning. Unreal. Best customer service in the business."

Thats good for the buyers to get good prices and fast delivery. As a consignor i would wait 3 months for my check if it meant i made money instead of getting a consignor check in a week on a net loss.

Apparently Brent at PWCC is the sole person who can't grasp why ending auctions at 11pm as the most dramatic presidential election in our lifetimes unfolded (with undoubtedly the live largest television audience of any event in our nation's history) was a lousy idea that hurt his consigners. Oh well. Live and learn.

I know i expected the outcome to be known early on the election like all the pollsters....the outcome was certainly a surprise.

I have now stayed up past my bedtime for game 7 of the world series and the election..

I know you don't snipe, but I would guess over 70% of the bidders on your card are snipping.

As for having it end during the election, PWCC does give you a forecast when your auction will occur, and their client portal has that information. I also believe there is a window where you can make changes/comments on your listing.

Not saying it's right to hold the auction on that particular time, but it's a slippery slope to start picking which world events need to be blacked-out by PWCC for bidding. The inauguration? When Trump guts Obamacare? When Trump launches warheads into Syria? When Hillary's supporters river of tears flood California?
