REA open for bidding!

Blair- there are some variables, and of course not getting in a qualifying bid on a lot you gladly would have topped can be frustrating. I guess the best strategy might be to get qualifiers in early on virtually every lot you would have even a remote interest in. In an REA auction that would require a lot of work.

Just placed bids on 10 different items, I only could afford one, but have little doubt I'll be outbid on all 10, but fun to dream.

Oddly I'm the current leader on all 10 items, so doesn't look like peep are putting in Max bids.

"Dear paul,

One of the bids that you have placed at http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com
has been outbid by a fellow member. Here is the information pertaining to the lot you bid on:

1934 New York Yankees Team-Signed Ball with Ruth, Gehrig, Grimes, and Six Other Hall of Famers!
Lot number: 1060
New high bid: $2,250.00"

I planned on being at the computer the day bidding opened and scurrying through about 20 different lots putting in low bids. I was caught off guard and didn't realize it was opening on Wednesday. So I've been playing catch up....not exactly brave enough to just bid on all 20....I'm up to about 12 or 15 of the original 20 I had in mind...I think I have 3 or 4 i'm still the high bidder on...so as I get outbid on one, I find another of the original items to then place a bid.

The same thing happened to me. I did not realize it had opened until around 11pm that night which limited my range of possible entry bids. Who knows how that will affect the outcomes of my bidding. I wish it would just open when it is advertised to open since opening bids are a big part of strategizing in this format.
