My first auction with the new (to me) Stacks Bowers website...

It has been a couple of years since I won with Stacks Bowers (SB).
I picked up three coins, missed out on the one that I really wanted (my slush fund was not deep enough).
I prefer Heritage's (HA) website and upcoming notification process. I like their imaging, which is better in ways than HA. SB auctions were pretty lengthy in duration (normally 1200 CST until 2200+), and it would be great if they provided a notification service when your watch/bid items are coming up soon. It was really hard to gauge when the items were coming up based on the number of lots ahead; some ran short, some longer than anticipated, some even crawfished from higher bids back to previous bids. I had to do a couple of "bid and forget" since I could not hover over the keyboard during the duration. I paid my invoice when it was submitted to me, so lets see how long it actually takes to get the coins "in hand". HA usually ships them out within a week.
I have been following the other SB thread about a couple of botched auction items, just thought that I would share a positive (so far) experience.

I received the shipping notice from HA today...a little over a week after making the payment.
