Interesting experience. I was happy to score one of the items I wanted. Sad to have missed out on many other wonderful models. I have a pretty long horizon in this hobby. I expect I'll see similar items come up again over the next few decades.
It was my first Stout auction activity. The on-line experience was quick but very straightforward. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to pre-bid, observe, and use the bidding system from my smart phone.
A question for those who have done online/absentee bidding before: How long should one expect the process to take for invoicing, payment processing, shipping etc.? Just curious...
It was fun, but some nice pieces got away.......
