New Auction Site, Would Like Opinion

It seems like the prevalence of online Estate auctions instead of live estate sales is becoming common. I found this site, it appears to be new and I love some of the jewelry in the auction but I don't know, is online the wave of the future for Estate Sales?

www.derbayzvintage.com

What do you think, is there any good jewelry finds in this auction? I sort of like the idea of not having to fight people to get to items.

Thanks,
Kat

 

Welcome!
Others will be by to help you.

 

Thank you Kingofthings, I am so glad that I found this site. It looks like I will be able to find a lot here!

 

Hello Kat:, & welcome.

Now....
no matter where you go ...if you are not willing to fight others to get items you want......you will not get those items.

 

When I said fight, I meant physically. I get overwhelmed easily in crowds because of bad eye sight. If you are talking about a bid battle, I am in.

 

OK...I understand that.....I hate crowds.....but to bid off the web without touching the item....can be equally as overwhelming..........

 

Yes that is true, but the place is local at least to me, so I can attend the preview, but then I have to deal with people. Its a vicious little circle!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Interesting name, dErBAYz, not sure why they chose it

I've used The Saleroom to online bid at B&M auctions but much prefer to be physically present and inspect in person.

Not sure how well the US is served for B&M auctions, here in the UK atm it is pretty good.

 

dErBAYz, .......

 

LOL thanks guys, if I go the preview I will ask why the name. Sort of makes you want to derrrrrrr.....

 

things that make you go Hmmmm....

 

So thank you for torturing me over the name. I found a Vintage store on Etsy called DerBayz Vintage and I contacted the owner. The name represents their blended family. Durr (Der) for the youngest daughters last name and Boese (Bayz, thats how it is pronounced) for the new family name. I sort of feel bad about laughing at it now, but now we know. I am the crazy Kat lady, a little to blunt and direct at times. I think the auction site is legit and I am going to bid. You can't beat everything starts at $1 and the site doesn't seem to be getting very many bids so I could really clean up for like under $300. Is this wrong?

 

wait to the last 5 minutes......then you'll know...

what something starts at
&
what something ends at......

2 very different things... !

 

I don't think waiting will matter much because the auction has a soft close, so if I bid in last minutes the lot will be extended. I will watch until the preview.
