books. I send them First class and save. Thanks for your attention.
Good morning everyone. I am wondering what auction policies are for absentee
bids placed in a live auction. Is the highest maximum absentee bid normally
announced to the floor bidder(s) that is/are actively bidding on that
particular lot? I would find such a practice to be of advantage to the
I would hope not. Floor bidders don't announce how high they are willing to go
unless they make a bid for that amount and just don't increase it. Telling all
the bidders present how much absentee bidders are willing to pay gives those in
attendance an unfair advantage, as they can decide

Hello,
If I had been an absentee bidder, I would of been VERY angry as to how it went
down. It is extremely unfair to absentee bidders to announce ...ok folks hear
is the highest absentee bid, let's move pass it and get on with the auction for
all those who are here.
Best Wishes

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

there is no distinction between live bidders, absentee bidders, proxy

In defense of the auction, I was there in person...as I have been for many
other auctions of all kinds. While I was not LOOKING for any improprieties, I
did not notice any.with the possible exception of the artwork in the tube.
All in all, we had a wonderful time at the auction, and didn't
out Geoff Notkin's new meteorite hunting book.
What book? Did I miss something?

Hi list,
Walter you did miss something. Geoff has a new meteorite hunting
book and If you missed my review of it via the live feed let me
review. It is easy reading (especially for the new hunter) with
fantastic photos courtesy the meteorite babes (Susanne, Lisa, Leigh
Anne and others)
