Goldberg Auctions

I have never participated in one of Goldberg's Auctions, but am planning to. I was searching the archives and see a lot of coins I would have been interested in during prior auctions don't have a price realized, but instead say "Unsold".
What are some of the reasons that it may say "Unsold"? Do they accept offers prior to the listing or are there undisclosed reserves? Any helpful will be appreciated.

The Goldbergs are auctioning the first part of an exceptional collection of large cents on Sunday. As far as I know, this collection has not been discussed in this forum, surprisingly. Did I miss a pertinent thread? There are some really wonderful pieces in the personal collection of Tom Reynolds, who is not related to me.
Are any forum members participating?
Wonderful Large Cent Coin Collection of Tom Reynolds to be auctioned by the Goldbergs
TopographicOceans:
Okay, I was sort of hoping that some forum members were interested in the Goldbergs event that starts this Sunday, 01/31/16. Although the Tom Reynolds Collection is the headline of the event, the Goldbergs will be auctioning a wide range of items during the days that follow. Have any forum members viewed lots for this sale? Please post observations and opinions.

I perused a bit of the online catalog when I got the email notice from Goldbergs a few weeks ago, briefly admired some ofTom's coins, then jumped to the Pre-Long Beach catalog to look for cents more in my budget range.
WalkerGuy:
I searched and did not find that thread. Please consider posting a link to it.
Shamika:
The images are impressive, especially of early copper. There are some that I would like to enlarge, print, frame and place above my desk. I repeat, though, that it is really not a good idea to grade coins from images.
WalkerGuy:
A. I write about inexpensive coins, too, including a recent piece on collecting Classic U.S. coins for less than $100 each:
Classic U.S. silver coins for less than $100 each: 19th Century Types from Three Cent Silvers to Half Dollars
B. Did WalkerGuy or other readers of this thread actually view large cents in this Goldberg's sale, whether they be in The Tom Reynolds Collection or from other consignments? I was sort of hoping to read opinions about the coins themselves. A numismatist does not have to be able to afford a coin in order to communicate an opinion or viewpoint about it. Would we expect art experts to be able to afford all the famous paintings that they discuss?

I knew it would happen.

I found their system similar to the old teletrade (which I think was downright crooked) in that they would bid up to their hidden reserve implying that you were in a bidding war when in fact you were bidding against the book.
I bought a few thousand from them during their last auction prior to Long Beach back in March when they had some Jack Conour half cents on the block.
The camera on the Internet feed just showed two guys. I wonder if anybody else was in the room?
I didn't get in any bidding wars since I had my price set on the lots I was interested in - and I was outbid on most.
I did something I normally don't do - I bid on a lot of ten notes that didn't have pictures. I won it for about $300. There were a couple of crappy ones, but I was real happy with the others in the lot.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
