Figured I'd update the Mother colony shot while photographing the frags.

Yeah, I still had to photograph the last couple auctions and it wasnt until someone asked if there was a Flame of Udun in this sale and I said no that I looked and i had cut frags of it and never photographed them. So they got added to the last two auctions.

Another fantastic ARC livesale in the books! It remains one of the best livesales on the forum in terms of deals and giveaways.

One thing to consider with the new auction format is that auctions make it more difficult to budget purchases during the livesale. If I might have to pay $200 for something in 45 minutes, maybe I don't pull the trigger on something else I want during the sale, for instance. Or with an auction that goes 24 hrs past the sale, I may have hundreds of dollars to spend right now, but I need to wait to see if I won the auction or not, in the meantime items I would have otherwise purchased are now sold to others. Then I lose the auction and now I'm not spending any of it.

I really liked the addition. Kept it interesting and a gateway to some nice deals.

Yeah, I don't mind the additional avenue to get some good deals, but maybe the timing can be tinkered with somewhat. A little more staggering of end times or smarter groupings would definitely be beneficial to all parties. For instance, if I want a high end torch and there are 3 available but they all end at the same time, now I have to pick one and hope I get it. Whereas if the endings were staggered just a bit, I could miss out on the first and still have a chance at the other two.

Mostly, auctions will occur outside of live sales considering that live sale dates are hard to come by. However, I hear what you're saying. The solution is to not have budget! :D

Sorry I wasn't here hanging out. Drive to Boulder City yesterday and Vegas today and then did the Titanic exhibit.
