Did I win this lot in the Heritage Signature Sale?

I was high internet bidder on a lot before the sale, so I watched the live bidding. As expected, I was outbid on the lot. When I look at the bidding history on Ebay, it shows one or two bids above mine (hard to tell as I had a little extra in my high bid)

Well, I logged into heritage's site, and looked at the prices realized, and it shows my high bid (with BP). I went to "My Bids" and it has my potential invoice listed with this amount.

So.....Did I win and Ebay was screwed or is Heritage screwed?

My wallet needs to know.

Give them a few days for all the auctions to end. Then they will E-Mail you an invoice.

Same thing happened to me a while back. Showed me as the winner on their site, but eBay showed a different winner. In my case, the answer was no, I didn't win.

Go to the section at Heritage entitled My Bids. If you were high bidder at the Heritage website your bid will be in green. Under that in black will be your bid plus the BP. In the next column in blue is the winning bid after the floor auction. If you are the winning bidder the numbers will match.

I was high bidder today for lot 5249 and it is up already. At this point I am still not sure the coin is mine. My bid seemed pretty low and I am not sure that it hit the consignor's reserve.

Usually it takes a while [days] for them to post an invoice under My Invoices.

They have the prices realized posted for todays lots (I keep track of the Liberty Nickels). It shows my high bid, and it is in blue meaning it is the price realized.

I will wait to see for sure, but if this is incorrect, then the listed winning bid is incorrect. How many others are incorrect? I keep a database of these results, and would hate to find out now it is all wrong.

What I may have going for me is this.

It showed my final high bid as the opening bid. It was then outbid by an internet bidder. Their bid matched my high proxy bid. I would hope that an internet bidder does not override my proxy bid ( I can see the arguement for a live bidder, but not an internet bidder)

It then showed a floor bidder at the next high bid. It may have been that it was my bid was the high bid (but was listed wrong). This sucks because there is a coin closing this weekend on Ebay I am interested in, but if I win this lot, I cannot bid on the other.

They now have listed the Post-Auction Bargains for Direct Sale which includes those coins that didn't sell today. The lot that I was high bidder on did not appear so I guess it hit reserve and the coin is mine.

So toothpuller, they have to go back and see what the reserves were on these coins?

Isn't it plugged into the software somewhere?

I thought all the big auction houses used the owners minimum as a shill bidder or buyer?

toothpuller

Sinin1 I don't know. I just thought that my bid was too low to be accepted.

Auction bidding starts a $1 on many items at the Heritage website. Do you think they are consigning all these coins with no reserve?

Did they end the auction early cant seem to get a live feed?
