Goldberg Pre-Long Beach Auction

TxCollector

Has anyone else had trouble viewing some of the listings in the upcoming Pre-Long Beach Auction? Here's an example of what I'm seeing where the coin on the right is w/o pics.

I called their office this am and they said that they would reboot the server but I'm not seeing anything different as of yet. I am using the latest version of chrome that's available but I'm still getting a pop from the Goldberg website saying it's out of date. If anyone knows how to work around this if it's something odd on my end and if they could let me know that would be appreciated.

As an aside, $2500 for a G4 1799 seems like a low estimate for value assuming there are no issues with the coin but if that were the case I would hope that it would say G Details instead of G4. Odd that they choose to not include the slab in their pics.

I see the same thing on my browser (Safari). Goldberg almost always has the estimate super low and it's absolutely not unusual to see things to go for much, much more. Also they never take pictures of the slab for you to see the number. Not sure why but I've never seen a slab picture in one of their auctions.

Safari also and some show up and some do not.
Those that do not when I click to go to the single lot I still do not have an image. Click the image and it just spins while trying to load.
Those that show an image work fine all around.

I would be frustrated if I had coins at auction through them and potential buyers couldn’t even see any pics. Reading prior posts it seems like their website has always left something to be desired but I hadn’t seen anyone post about this particular issue before.

Look harder, I bought this up a few days ago, I just didn't mention the auction house

Ok, while I did search the website for prior posts filtering for the auction house’s name I did not take the time to scroll through every single post lol.

I've bid in their auctions in the past, but their woefully out of date website leaves a lot to be desired. I get this garbage popup on their site. Mentioning Explorer 10 says plenty, it's like telling me to get a new copy of Windows ME. Plus there is precious little self service, like getting a forgotten bidder number. Pretty much done bidding with them.

I have had one experience buying via their auction website and was very disappointed in how inaccurate the pics were for winning lots compared to the coins (early copper). Beware!

Internet Explorer isn't even available anymore.

These pop ups are often something with Bad intentions.
Never use them. Always go to the official site for whatever you are updating.
These type of pop up used to appear for Adobe (acrobat was it) saying it was out of date (back when it was a thing but gone now). Using them to update could unload some Bad-ware on the computer.

Tried to look at the offerings last night and got frustrated. Nothing for me anyways.

I might have been interested in a couple of the large cents but without any images available for them it’s a non-starter.

I won’t bid on a coin without a slab shot and I wouldn’t consign with an auction house that doesn’t display slab shots.
