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 |

Seems like quite a few bids were left out: I got confirmation emails for absentee bids I placed and should have won 3 lots (including Ron's); I also applied for life bidding via LA but wasn't able to bid on pieces were my bids weren't high enough. Still waiting on a reaction from AI. Sounds that I wasn't alone though.
![]() ![]() Thus, I believe that quite a few lots sold for less than they could have fetched. If I were one of the owners submitting their pieces to the auction, I'd seriously question AI on their "suboptimal" auction system... ![]() Long story short: If you were lucky to win lots #11, #42, #47, 67, #68, and #110 - please let me know whenever you decide to part with them! ![]() ![]() Regards, Kai |

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. |
