AH (PWCC) Reality Check Please

Steve that does really suck for you. Yes I also think it was a horrible decision to end on election day. Not sure why they would do something that also cost them a lot of $.

Terrible timing indeed... but I believe Pwcc auctions are clearly listed as to their start dates... and with this you can figure the end dates.

steve B · #3 11-11-2016, 10:15 PM

Yeah, not the closing time I'd have chosen.

I've bought a few things that had similarly bad closing times. One closed at 8AM Easter morning.

I'm not sure you'll be able to get anything though. Which pretty much sucks.

What's ironic is that they think it out enough to (usually) avoid Friday and Saturday auction closes for that same reason - typically bad days, lower traffic, distracted, weekend evenings, etc

My auctions closed from about 11pm to 11:25 that night. It was just surreal.

In oh so many ways!

Yes, This.

I had a $5k+ card sell on a Wednesday night at 1am est. Needless to say it didn't sell strong. I wasn't happy.

i agree not the brightest idea ... even NCIS did air on election night

Stampsfan · #10 11-12-2016, 02:30 AM

Agree Steve... I'd be pi$$ed too. That's a bit of a no brainer as to when to extrapolate them out to a closing date. And as you're consigning them, asking "Will my items be closing in the evening of the Federal Election?" would not be a question I would have thought of.

All we ever hear is how PWCC gets record prices; following them, it's somewhat selective.

Leon · #11 11-12-2016, 07:00 AM

It might have brought lower prices but most people, myself included, still snipe. So when I see a card I really want I snipe it. Very rarely do I bid at the end anymore.

BruceinGa · #12 11-12-2016, 07:17 AM

I agree with Leon, I snipe 90% of the time.

I typically snipe on anything of value. Al

i also have finding that many cards are just selling for less in general then they were a few month ago. Combine that with other circumstances like the election than thats a double down on potential sale price of less than hoped for.

However as leon said, you really only have snipers at the end of auctions...i put in my bids early (i say 3 hours before an auction ending is early to me) and the last second bids are snipers anyway that put their bids in already. However just losing out on one potential bidder is real $.

Peter_Spaeth · #16 11-12-2016, 09:18 AM

Yeah I imagine folks who bought a lot at the peak during the frenzy earlier this year may be a little regretful. A very nicely centered SGC 60 52T Mantle (and nice otherwise, a little tilt) just sold for 41K in Mile High, that seems well off the highs for 311s.

Well, I've never used a sniping service and I doubt I am the only
one.

I have never sniped. I always bid early and put another bid in at the end.

botn · #19 11-12-2016, 10:57 AM

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."

Baseball Bob · #20 11-14-2016, 02:24 PM

Shucks! Why was'nt I online then? Could have grabbed some real bargains! Oh, yeah- I was using up my last box of kleenex crying about the election results!

No, seriously; that is a real bummer. PWCC cost you and themselves with that decision.
