Greetings List,
I must concur with Ryan. (Iwas not there, but watched the live feed) There
were several occasions where it was announced that the current bid was the
maximum of an absentee bid.
Respectfully,
Steve

That is incorrect. There were several
occasions where the max. absentee was announced as live
floor bidders were actively bidding.

I was there and as I heard it, absentee MAX bids were NOT
announced in advance but were treated as regular bids.
Sometimes it was said that the current bid was an absentee
bid but that was the extent of the information. All winning
bidders were announced on each auction (by bidder number,
never by name) so were not identified enless we were
watching who was holding up the bidder cards as the bids
were made.
I think there may have been some problems last year (not
certain, but ...) however this year it is my impression that
absentee bids were treated as regular bids. At most, it
would have been said that the current bid was absentee but
the next bid would win 'in house.'
Again, I do NOT remember any absentee MAX bids being given
out early. There were a couple of cases where absentee entry
bids were announced as in "I have an absentee beginning bid
of $$$, so will anyone bid $$$$?"
