Well, it sure seems like the minimum bids on these lots are pretty damn low! I'm sure there are crazy deals to be had!

Just spoke with our contact at Morphy's. OK.. The pictures will be taken and distributed to our team by next weekend. If??? there are money ($3-500) pieces for example in these additional items missing from the lots, we will look at having them re-lotted and included in an addendum with new lot numbers etc. Otherwise, there will be additional pictures coming for these (pre-existing) lots and the opening bid prices will of course stay the same.

For the meantime, we will be working under the assumption that within two weeks time MAX the online catalog will be updated to reflect the changes and anyone who will physically show up at the auction will receive a printed addendum.

Not a big deal. If anything, better for you guys and your stupid rubber crap.

Well I do have deep appreciation for all the work that went into cataloging and pricing the pieces. I spent about an hour yesterday looking at the lots online and could not believe what I was seeing. The thought that one man accumulated all those wonderful objects! Just crazy awesome.

As someone said some place else, sounds like fun.

You hire buyers to collect stuff for you so you can house it in a warehouse where you don't even seem to unbag half of it.

Clothes? Pffff.... Though my wife would LOVE that...and she DOES need a job.
But we don't have NM here. At least I don't think we do. And you know, I'm not even sure NM is clothing, but I've heard the name and that's what I'm picturing.
