The best way seems to be, if you want an item badly enough, find a way to get to the auction and don't trust your luck to the Internet...that is what I will make every effort to do from now on.... IP: Logged |

Or find someone you know that is going and send them with $$$ to get it bought for you. IP: Logged |

thats true about begin there in person but when a lot of these auction are in the midwest and livin on the east coast traveling can become pretty expensive one thing for is that the auction houses are lost a lot money with all these missed bids not good for seller but good for buyer . thats my take.

Is it just me or could something simple like this help? As many auctions for years had phone-in bidders, there was an employee manning the phone. Would not an employee watching a moniter near the auctioneer fulfill a large part of that function?? Maybe not foolproof, but may help. I think that the house is gaining by attracting bidders that cannot attend (if their bid actually goes through). However where it is really costing the house and the owner is if the bidder chose to stay home and bid online rather than in person(and their HIGHER bids are not being taken) Just my 2 cents..

Rex, Check out my thread under "Petroliana News" concerning the Aumann Auctions' internet bidding problems. Several more Old Gassers have written to say they had similar problems with internet bidding on both your auction and yesterday's auction. Paul IP: Logged |
