First let me congratulate everyone at Heritage. What a great auction.
I also have to confess I didn't get much work done today as I was
watching it happen live on HA.com . That is some COOL software/web
stuff. Being able to see the auction happen live and watch what was
happening in the room was great! My only comment for next time is we
want CROWD shots. Don't be offended, it get's boring seeing the
auctioneer the whole time. Pointing at the left or right....
I have to say there were a few times it took a lot of personal strength
NOT to click on the big BID NOW button. It was taunting me a few times
on some items. But I just recently purchased a very expensive poster
and I am tapped.
In general it felt like items you see at every Heritage Auction or up on
Ebay with some regularity didn't do great. Didn't do bad, but also
not great. Items that didn't come up all the time seemed to do quite
well. (This is based on the estimates as I am average collector and by
no means an expert on all poster prices.)
It was also fascinating to see items that went way over estimate, you
could actually SEE the BIDDING war happen right in front of you on the
computer screen. Now that was cool and it really for the first time
help me understand how every auction has one or two of those items where
you scratch your head......
Just wondering what other people thought if they watched it or not.
Best,
Ira
