bc Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Regarding the newest CLink Focused auction that started yesterday - first time I didn't even put in one tracking bid Might be something to this idea about not selling books in the summer... C'mon Featured auction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that winter time and December in particular was the absolute worst time of the year to be trying to sell your books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @valiantman had some data on this last year that showed Spring (after tax returns) was a good time as well as Fall. Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wouldn't bother me as much if they didn't send payment reminders 40 seconds after you win an auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the story have a happy ending? I've found comics in my porch box (daily cooking in the summer heat) while I've had the mail stopped, but never lost anything.

Professor K Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi Everybody, I recently won my 1st graded comic on Heritage last night. I usually use ebuy and Comiclink , but to test the waters with Heritage I bid on a cheaper book and I got it. I just want to verify how this works please. I bid on it about 10 minutes before it ended. It ended with no more bids so I thought I won it. But then each auction went to a live bid. A few hours later my book came up and no one bid. So is that how all Heritage auctions operate? Kind of like in 2 stages? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
