Today's Seacrest auction

What was that?

I had saved a bunch of trains on ebay and it told me they had like 12 hours left. I then come here and see your post.

I go back to ebay and everything has ended?

What a shamble. Why link the sales to ebay if the time is that far off?

I think Stout uses eBay listings to advertise the auction lots.  As others have said in previous auction threads, log onto Stout's own website to actually bid.  Bidding via eBay doesn't work.

Yes, and you have to apply in advance for approval by Stout to bid at the auction using their website.

I was surprised how many of the selling prices exceeded the estimated range listed with each item. I got a couple items that were reasonable. On lot 338 Precision Scale truck sets, I would like to buy a set on passenger trucks, who ever you are. Please contact me.

I got knocked out rather quickly and I had hefty bids in.  They have another one in August.

Always better off to register with Stout directly. Learned the Ebay thing the hard way a long time ago. 

Man I was outbid on many items. I think that now everyone is aware of Stout Auctions and the deals will be far and few in-between. Good for the Seacrest Estate, not so good for the ones looking for a bargain! I was surprised about the undecorated Chooch Enterprises car lot that went for a nice penny, considering all the cars were assembled yet undecorated.

Thanks to all. I am registered I believe. I just got lazy when I saw the items also on ebay. I figured I could watch their progress there.

I know now that was wrong.

Somebody got an NJCB "custom trash" S2 for $170 plus fees.  That wasn't bad and these are sturdily built models even though not the most modern in detail.

Dick,  One way to contact the high bidder of Lot 338 would be to write a letter starting:  Dear Sir or Ma'am and include your mailing address, phone number and Internet address.    Enclose it in a stamped but not sealed business envelope.  Write a letter to Stout Auctions asking them to seal, address and mail the enclosed envelope.  Send the letter to Stout Auctions with the first letter in the not sealed envelope.  Stout can address it and send it on its way.   John in Lansing, ILL

Great idea. Thank you. I will do that.
