wow! pretty intense last night. some of the items went pretty high, but overall it looks as if the prices of our toys are up in general. i have to say winning my first live auction item from that auction is a rush. i have to say that beating the big boys in a prime auction is one heck of a rush. it made my day. congrats to the rest of the winners (sorry, maurice. i wasn't gonna bid like i told you, but i got caught up

I'd love to see what the pieces sold for; especially that mis-identified Rukai sword .
I think the bidding for that opened at $2,850.00 . |

What did you bring home last night, the kris with the diminutive kakatua, the kris with the horse hoof pommel or the Barung with the inlaid blade. I attended the auction via the web with the intention of winning one item. In the end, all I could afford was the viewing fee ![]() Any forumites that wants to share their winnings, feel free to post. |

Inch'Allah I'll get a consolation prize, a Bukhara dagger
![]() I think so ?? not sure, because it's first time, not too much familiar with that system of auction in two times but, I have that notice A RARE BUKHARA PITCHAU DAGGER -closed- Absentee You will be notified if you were the successful bidder for this lot and my maximum bid offer didn't be covered ... so ![]() but, from far, too difficult to made such investment without having prior a view at the item specially the "lot 127" (Pala) my offer maximum reached 10% too short ![]() next time ... ![]() à + Dom |

Hello Rick and all,
Yes, I'm also very curious (should I say "anxious" :-) ?) to know about the lot 194 that was mislabeled and for which I bidded online nearly 4 weeks ago. I didn't receive yet any confirmation mail from Imperial Auctions. Best Nicolas ![]() PS Rick, I PMed you |

8AM in Shanghai, a chilly but very sunny day is starting.
![]() Just checked anxiously my email box. Still no official confirmation mail from Imperial Auctions, 4 days after the sale. ![]() I will keep you informed when I have it (if I ever have one ?). Nicolas |

I STAYED UNTIL AROUND 1:30 AND UNDERSTAND IT WENT ON UNTIL 3:00 OR SO. MY TASTE IN WEAPONS WAS TOO GOOD AND MY POCKETS TOO SHALLOW TO GET ANY OF THE ITEMS I WAS INTERESTED IN. BUT IT WAS A FUN AND INTERESTING WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING/MORNING EVEN IF I CAME UP EMPTY. AT LEAST I GOT TO FONDLE A LOT OF NEAT ITEMS
![]() OLIVER AND WARD WERE RUNNING AROUND LIKE A COUPLE OF WILD MEN DURING THE AUCTION AND NO DOUBT UNTIL DAYBREAK AFTER THE AUCTION GETTING EVERYTHING SETTLED. A REGULAR AUCTION IS VERY SIMPLE COMPARED TO THE ONLINE AND REGULAR TYPE. USUALLY YOU MAKE YOUR BID PAY FOR YOU ITEMS AND TAKE THEM AND GO HOME. I GUESS THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT STILL DID THAT BUT THOSE ON LINE WILL TAKE A BIT LONGER TO SORT OUT. IT WAS A BIT OF A MADHOUSE AT TIMES BUT FUN FOR THOSE ATTENDING BUT PURE WORK FOR THOSE RUNNING THE THING MY HAT IS OFF TO THEM. ![]() I RECON THEY WILL GET IT ALL SORTED OUT SOON. I DID SEE A FEW BIDS MISSED AS THE BID CAME IN LIKE A SNIPER BID AT THE LAST SECOND BUT WHEN THE AUCTIONEER SAYS SOLD ITS ALL OVER SO CUTTING IT TOO CLOSE IS RISKY AT SUCH AUCTIONS. I AM NOT TOO FOND OF INTERNET AUCTIONS AS THEY ARE MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN THOSE WHERE ALL BIDDERS ARE ON SITE. |

kai,
i didn't like the looks of this auction as well, so i went ahead and emailed liveauctioneers hoping i could get a non-partial response. like you, i did the absentee bid route too, but logged in anyways just to watch. looking back, i should have participated live, but in this one instance. the final amount of that one item was exactly the same as my max bid, so there was really no reason for me to bid any higher. the following is the liveauctioneers staff response after i pointed out the descrepancies: Quote:
(Note:the dollar amount is fictitious and i changed the time since i'd rather keep that to myself on what i bid on) granted, auctions this big can make little room for mistake, but it shouldn't be so blatant! it just turn people off from bidding online in the future. like you said though, there were some good deals on this auction, but still that don't make it right for the other people who felt they were slighted. i just hope this whole mess get straightened out... i made out on the scabbards; i just hope the blades fit. p.s. you guys should know if you won the items or not. just log in on AI's website, then click on your name. look for items won, and it should tell you then if you won it or not. |
