<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 2220978, member: 88&quot;]I think there are lots of dealers trying to figure out if they want to hold onto their stuff till the shows start back up or try to sell it elsewhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>The IPBA convention was cancelled for this year. It is held the beginning of May &amp; this year it was suppose to be in Dallas. There is 3 different officially held sales over the 4 days. The first is the Showroom which is where the professional dealers set up for all 4 days. It is open only to members for the first 3 days &amp; to the public on the last day. The second is the auction that is usually held on Friday night. There are usually about 150 bottles or so &amp; bidding can get very competitive with some bottles selling for 5 figures. The auction is open to the public &amp; you can also bid on-line or by phone. The third one is the marketplace where any of the members who wants to pay a small fee can set up on a table. It is open to members only for the first couple of hours &amp; to the general public the last hour. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of this to say that I have noticed more high-end bottles on eBay lately &amp; I know for a fact that one of the dealers that usually sell in the Showroom has been listing bottles for the last couple of months. </p><p><br /></p><p>The auction is still supposedly going to happen &quot;sometime this summer&quot;, but no idea when. They say it will be held like it is at the convention with in-person, on-line &amp; phone bidding. It will be interesting to see what kind of prices the bottles bring.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
