Question about Spink auctions

I just registered and placed a bid online. I know that I placed the bid successfully, because the site allows me to amend my bid. But, I never got an email confirmation nor does the site tell me what my bid was. Very primitive.
Will I get noticed if I get outbid from an online bid? When the auction is over, when will I know if I won my lot? (The auction is too early for me to watch live because it starts in the morning in UK and I am in NY region.)

Are they fast shippers? I'm hoping to get the package before I leave for NYINC.

I've got a couple of bids in, but really don't expect to have them in hand for 3-4 weeks. But I wish you better luck.

Only purchased from them once. From auction to delivery it took about 20 days. I think they shipped within a week of getting my payment.
Figure this time of year shipping may be slower. The big rate limiting step (for me at least) is the New York international sorting facility. Sometimes you get lucky and it breezes through, other times it's stuck there for 2 weeks. The plane trip across the Atlantic takes no time at all.

"So antiquated" -- A bit of an ironic post on a forum which hasn't updated their software for 14 or so years.
What's the big rush to get the coin (if you even win it)? Are you going to flip it at NYINC? Seems everyone wants instant gratification. Good things come to those who wait...

I believe they really haven't come out of the Victorian era.
Spinks puts out books on English and Irish coins (I collect the latter). The references however are published periodically with no set release date.

I have dealt extensively with the "new" Spink since Olivier Stocker became the majority owner several years ago. I have sold for clients over $20m of stamps and coins have never had any problems or issues. I am not a fan of their website or auction internet software. Instead, I use an agent to attend the sales to bid for me, or leave bids on the book.

As for my lack of patience, sadly my wife complains about that part of me too. And of course, you guys are right in that I don't need the coin before NYINC.
I once ordered a key coin from Lloyd Bennett in the UK. It got to me in a little more than a week, I think. Not bad, but that was the longest 7 to 9 days of my life.
My subsequent purchases from the UK didn't result in my losing all my fingernails.

Gotta keep reminding myself: this is a marathon, not sprint.

The special stuff usually brings out the money.

Prices appear to be strong. That does not bode well for me.
Same day as the auction..
