My humble opinion is Larry has some interesting comments, in particular on the price you'll get if you resell a week later.

I too am always surprised by the number of bids on his items-am I the only one who may or may not use bidnapper/snipe software? I would like to hear others thoughts on his prices realized......

I won a few lots from him in this most recent auction. I thought the prices were fair to high. I didn't follow a whole lot of them though. I did manage to win a few things below my max bids. regards

IMO, some of the final results were so high that I can't even offer an explanation. I respect the quality and reputation of Henry, but many prices were astronomical by a significant percentage.

Looking over the lots that ended I don't really see much out of the ordinary. Saw a couple nice Bronko Nagurski and Red Grange photos that ended under 50 bucks I wish I would have put a bid on.
He tends to get crazy prices on some Mantle photos, just like he always has. Other then that, there's a lot of stuff that seemed like relative bargains and a lot of stuff that went about where it should go. There was a few head-scratchers for sure, both on the high end and the low end...........but that's pretty typical of photo auctions. Granted I'm not an expert in everything he has offered up for auction. |

Henry does seem to get major auction prices on some things on ebay but so did Scott Gaynor several years ago when he was listing weekly on ebay.
It is simple, people go where the stuff is and he gets good quality items and a good quantity of them, markets himself well and only does auctions 4 or so times a year. He markets his ebay auctions as events. A friend of mine does the same thing in general line antiques on ebay and even takes out an ad in the antique journal. His sales for those auctions yield 25-35% higher results. Don't beat the guy up for success. As a side note, I was 3 for 4 in his auction last night. The one I lost I was 25% off the top bid. One my max bid was totally max out to the penny. One my max bid was 10% over the selling price and the last one my max bid was 4 times the purchase price. How is that for all over the board. To me it sounds like ebay. |
