But with the technology they have incorporated into their online auction package I'd much rather go through the bidding process at home and have the ability to mute the auctioneer.
With the heirs in attendance, there was a certain amount of excitement because of the Billy Wright books, but it definitely became fatiguing towards the end. It was so warm in the room i took a break and didn't come back until it was too late to bid on a book I was interested in.
Heritage did a great job conducting the auction in a pleasant setting with helpful support staff for those wanting to inspect the lots in person. Their food has been better in the past but the fresh fruit selections were uniformly outstanding.
It was a fun day trip, and I would do it again, but there are definitely advantages to bidding from home.

Seems like a higher label is already baked into the current price. If it comes up for sale in a new higher label but is identified as being the same book, I bet it doesn't go much higher (if at all).

Nada. I may have been the underbidder on one or two, but my guess is that I would never have been able to win one.

You might still be right Tim. It resold for more but it was still the same label. Right now it's still selling on its potential. If it comes up in a new label, then we'll see what the deal is.

Want list: Gil Cane picture frame Marvel covers in 9.6. PM me if you have them for sale.
HA is killing me. Told them to charge whatever to get my winnings to me before the 17th. Going to WonderCon and then a vacation and gone for some time.
So they decide to have it mailed fedex ground and set for Mon, the 19th for delivery. C'mon!!!!!
I even called to see if they could bring it to LA for the WDCC so I don't have to pay anything and I'll pick up in person. They don't do that. Really? Others do but no HA????
Then I don't bring books to HA to sell for me when I go to cons and staying with Comiclink who always takes my stuff with a smile and I leave with % of the GPA value of my books
Just RCVD my HA Curator book. Need to fix me scanner, wife needs to fix it for me, then I'll post. Love that sucker. Hmm.. I love all my books. drool...drool....
Have the scanner up and running again. My FAV recent purchase and 1st Pedigree. :). Love holding it in hand every night. The colors look way better in person than the HA scan or my scanner. Very pleased.
