Oh - you can bid already? Don't tempt me!! :)

Yep! I have bid on Propeorx before so maybe I got approved to pre-bid... Give it a try!!

i thought the key to auctions was to be the last one to bid... ???

Yeah, sometimes no one bids on an item so then you grab it for a deal. Live auctions are somewhat different than eBay auctioning. There isn't really the last minute 'snipe' bid concept. You either bid to win it or you don't. I don't do the bid wars cuz I don't have the deep pockets. Lol

so there are different styles of bidding... interesting.

I'd love that matte painting from TOS. Maybe I can sell them a kidney for it. ;)

i am confused.
in the second link, the enterprise shuttle, it'll be on hollywood treasure on the sci fi channel! there must be at least 1 bid on it for it to be in hollywood treasure! i remember the ad, the estimated cost was $50,000.

Ok, I'm all registered now. Saw a couple things I'm interested in and may bid on. Tempted by a few other things too.

Really cool, you guys will have to let us know if you win any auctions. I had a look through some of the items, some of them are pretty good prices, so hopefully they end up around those price ranges.

Here's a nice item that went for a nice chunk of change.

RickPeete · June 04, 2011, 10:03:43 PM

Unfortunately, no luck! I thought I got one item but got outbid at the end. Clearly, I do not have deep enough pockets for this....
