I think the advice you're getting is good. Bid your maximum and wait and see how it plays out. If the auction has a "soft close" or end, I forget how they say it, the bidding will continue after the cutoff time. Not like ebay.

Main difference between live auction and online for me is that you can bid any time. When you're at a live sale, the auctioneer is not going to get your bid with two other people battling it out. You'll have to wait until one of them drops out.

For prices, there are some good deals and bad ones--like with live sales. Items that I thought would fetch little money actually sold high, but then I snagged an almost new boom pole for my tractor for less than half of what it would sell for new. You never know.

You can always play around with bidding and place a few bids on an item you know is going to fetch big money. You may be the high bidder for awhile, but not for long. It'll get bumped up. Don't get carried away or you might end up with that thing. You can always put items on your "watch" list, so you can see where the bidding is when you log on. Kind of like standing around at a live sale and watching the bidding.

Lastly, if it's a three or four day sale, no harm in waiting until the last day to check the bidding and place your bid. As I mentioned, you can bid any time.

Good luck,

Gerrit
