Still Going Strong - MEARS December 2010 Auction

[GoldenAge50s]

And as a bidder I thank you from the bottom of my wallet .

No worry Leon, your wallet & mine will never match up in a bidding war!

As an auctioneer yourself, do you think it is OK to have as many unhappy bidders as some who have posted here (and many, I'm sure, that haven't)?

Jeff is totally getting screwed after being high bidder for 10-12 hrs w/ no activity. I'm at the point where even if I win, my joy of getting my item has been compromised by the stupidity of it all.

Of course I don't want any unhappy bidders. And I bet if MEARS had to do this over again, they would try to compress it, as Barry correctly mentions. Maybe this could have been 2 auctions, had a bit higher opening bids and/or had the extended bidding start earlier in the day. I have not spoken with them so I don't know their feelings but I am sure they didn't intend to piss anyone off. Live and learn. regards
