Thanx, that is what I figured.

For those who don't know: Mudcat is on Eastern (USA) time.

According to Joe, my previous post is incorrect. Closing time is Midnight, Mudcat time on the 15th. Good bidding, everyone.

Date: 11 Dec 10 - 10:59 PM

Closing time is individual to the pieces. I set it at December 15 so that there would be time for people to get their items. I presume, as with eBay, that the closing time would be based upon the time each peice was entered into the auction. I will PM Joe and ask for clarification on this issue.

As of today, I have rotated the last of the books which could end up outside the 14 day limit before the end of the auction.

The instruments will go on the auction after the first of the year. There is a lot up there now and they would not get the attention they deserve.

It has been brought to my attention that the Burl Ives Sea Songs can be gotten for significantly less at some other sites. I have asked Joe to lower the starting price to $8. It is still a rarity.

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff
From: EBarnacle
Date: 01 Dec 10 - 04:02 PM

Just got a box of books from my friend. Burl Ives Sea Songs is a duplicate to one I have so I am putting up on the auction. I have set the price fairly high because of the prices and conditions I have seen posted on line for the same book. Any questions, contact me.

PS: She also sent me a copy of the 1 volume Bronson, heh, heh, heh. Happy Chanukah to me.

Any news on the instruments you mentioned?

To clarify the above: When you go to the auction site to check out what is there, set the filter to 30 days. Some of the items have "timed out" at the 14 day setting.

Yes, the 30 day filter did the trick - many thanks Jeri!

Thanks for everyone's help and advice - computers and I have, at best, an adversarial relationship.

And EB, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that we can all convene for a chantey sing in NYC on December 17 if the gods smile on us!

There was one listing misspelled when I entered it. When I went back to correct it, it created a corrected, almost duplicate listing. At my repuest, Joe removed the incorrect listing. It is also possible that the book is simply hard to find because there are so many books up. Which book is it? Good to hear from you Jay.

A book that I bid on several days ago has now mysteriously vanished from the list of auction items.

What happened?

Subject: RE: Auction Notice: A lot of good stuff

Joe says we don't have the capability at present and that there are no plans to install this feature.

That's a worthwhile comment. Do we have that capability? If so, I will work with Joe to start it on this auction.

I've put a comment on one of the auctions, but I'll repeat it here.

The auction listings don't appear to have the capacity to add a 'Trace'
In view of the number of items currently on offer, it would help to have this available. Otherwise I have to remember which items I've bid on, and re-check them periodically.

Auctions may become better contested (more cut-throat) if either you could trace the individual items, or, if an automated PM was sent if you get outbid.

Cheers

Nigel

It makes no difference to me. You (or the owner) might find it easier to deal with different closing dates when it is time to ship out a boatload of parcels, however.

Even Mudcat auctions are prone to snipers. People don't bid till the very end.

After consulting with a couple of people, I am thinking of moving the closing date for the stuff I added today to December 15, to match the earlier material.

I will decide by December 1, based on comments on this thread. The general commentary thus far is that, after about 2 weeks, auctions tend to bog down and go no further. Please comment. I will listen and, if appropriate, respond.

Eb, could that book be: Bushes and Briars: Folk Songs
Collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams??

On checking,it turns out that he is correct. The listing will be corrected and anyone who bid on the incorrect listing can withdraw his or her bid by contacting Joe.
