To simplify it as best as I can please take advantage of phone bidding live with one of my employees. This way you can hear the auctioneer and the employee guide you through the active live bidding.
Placing maximum absentee bids prior to the auction online is a way for people to place lot of bids and leave. If you actually want to watch the item live and follow along, don't place any bids prior to the sale. When the lot opens you will quickly see what the bid amount is and what the next bid is by increment. If any of you would like to register for a phone bid please select which items you want (by lot #) and call 207-650-5677

I am extremely familiar with bidding in on-line auctions. This really isn't an on-line auction. It's a live auction that you've attached a web-site to.

An on-line auction (REA, B&L, Sterling, LOTG, Huggins, Goodwin, etc) has a definative opening and closing period, during which you may choose to bid on an item based on where the current bidding $$ is at. On your on-line site, there's no way to know where the price point is on a particular item until that item comes up on the block at the live auction.

I suppose the on-line portion will work fine as long as we are available while the actual auction is taking place.

So on proxibid.com you can see exactly what you were referring to about being able to see where the bid is at prior to the sale starting.

I thought the auction went very well. I won 3 of the 4 lots I bid on, and the Proxibid setup was neat to be able to follow along. I was impressed at how quickly each lot went. Nicely done, Troy and team!

When will the remaining lots be auctioned, and is there a preview available?

I agree. That was a fun auction with many beautiful cards.

Ready now for the 2nd installment.

I was shocked to have picked up one of the later lots in the auction. I had logged off watching after seeing the strong prices figuring I didn't have a chance.

Pleasantly surprised!
