Thanks. I've done pretty well by seeing where the crowd mentality and group speak is heading and looking for opportunities in the other direction. Has worked out well in many many situations.

Like in the stock market, what I've learned is that often times people say they are doing one thing and are actually doing the exact opposite. Has worked out for Goldman Sachs and the like for over 100 years.

I had no problem at all with the Invaluable Live bidding, and it worked well. Pretty similar to using LiveAuctioneers, actually.

The Hunt auction had a lot of great items for Ruth collector like me. I was mostly just tracking and trying to win some of the cards, but prices were really strong for the things that I wanted. I did win one Real Photo Postcard, for what I thought was a good deal. With cards for Ruth continuing to go up, I've gone to collecting RPPC's, which are more affordable.

Very cool pickup, Gary...

And to the OP....

Did you get resolution from Hunts? Hopefully they straightened out both issues for you. Please be sure to let us know!

I�ve heard from Hunt and they escalated to (David Hunt) sounds like an �error� where the floor bidder and myself (invaluable) placed the same winning bid.

And.. they gave it to the floor bidder. They are telling me nothing can be done.

They fixed my invoice form the item I never bid on but I still owe them $800 in buyer premium fees for another item won and seem to have gotten cheated by using invaluable. It stopped me from bidding on other items since I had a �limit�.

The initial response from Hunt is that there �is nothing they can do about it�

So I�ll just send them a check and likely be done with them forever.

I�ve sent a lot of money their way.

I recently won an item from them for an item I never bid on as well!! I just thought I was going crazy, or someone had hacked my login at work. I paid for the item, but knew deep it my heart I didn't bid on it. Thanks for letting me know that I did not go crazy!!
