Re: [MOPO] Fwd: [MOPO] Popstore April Auction -What The, Huh?

This was all done by Invaluable.
Glenn should have gone to the PeopStore site to place his bids and was
approved to bid there..
On that site, you have fully interactive bidding and can also bid by phone.
I do believe he should have had a chance to increase his bid on Invaluable,
but since it is a third-party site, the lag could have been significant.

It appears that you were the winner by a few seconds, Glenn. I don't get it; "bid not accepted?" Who did you piss off at Propstore? 

I've been watching an auction more than a few times, already imagining it framed on my wall,  when some nerd with a sniping app comes in and  crushes me with half a second to go. I'm a sore loser by nature so I don't take things like that well.

It seems like the final price should have been higher if Invaluable had indeed outbid you. It's a bit confusing. Jesus, 250 bucks would have been a great price...

Yes, but does the invaluable bidder not have a chance to increase?

I’m not sure why one wouldn’t bid invaluable instead of on PropStore’s great interactive live platform or by phone?

There was a "Wasp Woman" half sheet that I was ready to go to any financial lengths to get at Sunday's auction. I glanced at the ending time before I went out for a hike with my wife and thought, "Wow, 3:30? I can do that easily!" 

3:30 CENTRAL Daylight Time. Not PDT, not EDT. I ran into my office and the poster had gone for a price that I would have matched. D'oh! The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat.

The big surprise to me was the 1959 Hammer "The Mummy" half sheet that sold for 3K+. What made this title take a sudden spike?
