What do you think about Heritage's new Continuous Internet Auction?

I think it's annoying and a bad idea. With auctions ending at various times, too easy to miss bidding near the end.

  • I saw that just last night and wondered why they were doing it.

    I agree that it will be harder to keep track of the ending dates/times,
    but if there is anything worth bidding on, there may be better sniping.

  • It would be nice if someday hey put some coins in these auctions.
    I guess they put in all the items that won’t make the grade on the regular auctions. The current auction does not have even one Bust half.

    I like runningh through the Heritage site and have bought there on occasion but like others, I can not figure out the continuous internet auctions.

    Why have Continuous Internet Auction? What is wrong with Internet Only Auctions?

    I have no idea what they're doing, how it works, when it ends, etc. etc.

    If Heritage's objective was to confuse me to the point of not bidding, they've succeeded!
    When in doubt, don't.


  • The Internet Only Auctions and the Continuous Internet Auctions are two variations of the same game. They are nothing more than marketing ploys by Heritage to sell their low end inventory [ie. low end for the grade] at their Reserve aka retail prices.
