Did Anyone Else Get Anything From the A.N.R. Auction?

Didn't see any posts about it. a) Either prices are softening, b) I am interested in material that no one else wants (doubt that one, I've been slammed bidding in too many other auctions this year)
c) Everyone spent their money at ANA & the related auctions.
Picked up a Shield Nickel for 25% less than one sold @ a Heritage Auction at the same grade (it's an NGC MS 66 type coin, but there's maybe a 5% spread for the coin re PCGS & NGC Pricing). Also got an 1888 Half in PC 6. Normally this year especially, people have gone ape*** for this kind of coin, so I was shocked that I actually won it.
If I can figure out how to post images, will do so tomorrow.

I didn't get anything in the mail. I used to but maybe they took me off the list since I didn't buy anything from them.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

1834 2hd in AU for 35 and change ( including the juice)
Gave away the copper twenty though. Someone bought that really right.

This thread is definite evidence that ANR has the best auction photography!
I noted that much more than the usual number of ANR lots did not sell. I did not have the time to study why. Quality issues? Bidder fatique? Reserves too high? Watching too many Presidential debates? Everyone saving their money in hoping to win the 1933 $10?
Comments? Opinions?
Of course the reserves were too high. The question is WHY the reserves were too high. I don't know the answer.

BTW, of the coins that did sell, many went to mail and internet bidders, which I find to be most unusual.
