do you make your living this way?
i do, and i find auctions much better for winning parts for you collectors.
have lost a $5588.88 sealed bid by $0.04 cents. at auction i would have owned
it.
have lost a 188.88 lot by $3.00. at auction i would have owned it.
have bought $27,500.00 worth of gambles on one sale and not got a single lot
that i knew i could turn right away to recoup my money.
again, from a business point of view auctions rule!!!!
sealed bids suck.
i am a bidder for over 15 years on government surplus, the government found
they did much better with the auctions also in the mid 1990's. why do you
think most local sales were run that way?
