[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 8070027, member: 88"]That may be what finally does this auction house to close because he has only done an online sale once & that was many moons ago. He was selling 100+ civil war documents that were retrieved from the train platform by someone's ancestor. Seems when word got out that Sherman was done with Georgia & heading for Columbia people started loading anything at the state house they could lay their hands on into boxes & transporting the boxes to a waiting train. Eventually, they ran out of time &/or room so boxes were left behind. They convinced him to do it online as well as in person due to the interest from collectors north of the Mason-Dixon line. After it was over he announced he would never do another sale that included online bidding because online bidding slowed down the whole procedure & it drove him crazy. :p:p:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
