Going on right now and I don't think the prices are too high on average?

You missed a lot!! There is tons of it!! I dont know what your looking at. And like Kevin said, the prices seem to be a little more reasonable. At least for the stuff I was looking at. There were two Pennzoil items that I would have jumped on if I wasnt saving my money for Sunoco!

I was able to snag a couple of items, but the globe market seems alive and well! These 2 lenses brought $5000 for the colored one and $4250 for the plainer one!

One thing I'm confused about though is Lot#670!
I didn't realize it until the bidding on the item was over, but it appears that the winning bidder bought 350 of these at $600 each, for a total of $210,000!
How can anyone bid on a big lot like that with a single picture to go on? I'm still confused, but I'm guessing that we will see a lot of these at up coming shows!

I was wondering the same thing Kevin. I noticed a not in the text saying "Auctioneer is multiplying the high bid by quantity of 350" and I thought, "What"?? That is crazy!!

I bid... Hopefully I didn't buy truckload. I think it as just a glitch though.

Glitch? I don't know? I would sure hope so, but the catalog description also says quantity--350?

it was a glitch, i had bid on it prior to the quantity changing, when it was at 325 - asking for 350, i think the clerk hit the wrong button.
i was able to win a few things as well... what do you guys think about that hancock cracked lens? seemed like a good deal considering scotts guide has it as a $10,000+ globe.
kevin, did you beat me out in buying that cities tire stand?, i went what I thought was high on it... but someone else still got it

No--I bought lot 402 and lot 419 and that was it!
I thought I had the Socony Aircraft at $1000 when I was the high bidder for the count of 2, but all of a sudden, it took off again and topped out over $2000 somewhere.
