Did anyone bid live/mail/net on today's Stacks/ANR auction?

[MikeKing]

I love watching these things 'live' but found out long ago that by the time I was ready to press a button, the auction was several lots ahead.

 

Today, it seemed really fast, and my computer was registering every other lot.

 

There were three colonials I was interested in that I kind of lowballed, and, as is often the case, I'd start to wish I had bid higher, so I figured, this time, I might bid 'live'.

 

So I rebooted my computer, disabled my firewall (which I figured just slowed things down) and kept only one window open. My computer did seem to be registering these lots on-time, or at least I thought so.

 

There was one CT copper I won from a bid I had placed before the auction went live.

 

Then, there was this NJ copper I wanted, and I noticed I had been outbid before it became live so I was determined to watch it. It finally came up and I decided to hit the button and my bid actually went through (I think it was 550.00). Well would you know it? The next bid I saw online was for 551.00 by a mail bidder, and the lot closed at 550 (but not my 550). By the time I could hit that button again, they already advanced to the next lot! Darn!

 

I guess the mail bid supercedes anything via the internet.

 

Did anyone get anything exciting? Today or yesterday?

I bid in their sale a couple days ago. The lots have closed. My high bid was higher than the closing price. I am not showing as the winner or even as a bidder. I'm liking Stacks less and less every day. I'll focus my money elsewhere from now on.

 

Anyone wonder why Heritage is a monster? Take a look at their competition.

did you go into your account and click on 'watchlist'?

[gmarguli]

Yep. Doesn't show me as bidding. However, when I bid it showed me as high bidder on the lot.

A number of people on the PCGS boards are reporting the same problems. I had only bid on one lot via internet recently and was fortunate that the bid was recorded and I won the coin.
