Wild Card Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Gentlemen,I spoke to Andreas Thies this afternoon, at which time he informed me that he has decided to withdraw lot #43 in his next auction and offer the items in this lot on an individual basis at a future time. It is with his consent that I am posting this announcement.Regards,Wild Card Edited November 27, 2006 by Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Excellent. That should level the playing field and give people a better chance to get what should have stayed together... don't suppose he chatted about that at all?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I think that Thies is doing a very honourable thing! Way to go...I eagerly wait for the moment that I will unite my Jantzen's medal bar with the 2 ribbon bars!Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Now I have to hope that he (Thies) will not sell separately the two ribbon bars' halfs of Janzen... Let's pray and hope! More money to spend in order to reunite some ribbon bars with their bigger brother (medal bar).!!! Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eagle Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 When we can see the results?On Monday?Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Judging from previous experiences with Thies, it can take weeks before the auction result is available on their website. Especially now with all the Christmas holidays.../Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dane Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'll cross my fingers for you, eitze BTW, isn't it strange that so many Auction Houses (where you can bid by e-mail or a form on their website) don't inform you about your wins/losses at least a couple of days after the auction has ended?I have participated in quite a few of these auctions and the level of service varies considerably. Floyd, Johnson & Payne always mails you soon after the auction telling you what you won and didn't win, whereas Zeige and others don't inform you at all. You'll have to wait for the published result and even then you can't be sure, if the lot ended on your max. bid. Did I get it or did someone else put in a similar bid earlier? Then you can wait for the package to arrive in the mail, but since many of these auctions are in foreign countries it can take 4-8 weeks. During this period you have no idea if you won your lot or if you can spend the money on something else...I have sometimes tried to mail them about the result 1-2 weeks after the auction but have always got a reply that can be boiled down to "Just wait for the mailman, can't you see we're busy!" (although using more polite words...). /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 We could once make a statistic while on a auction, but just very few items were won from people who bid by mail, maybe less than 20%. Most of the winners were at the auction or on the phone!Ciao,ClaudioRight, absolutely crazy, I won nothing although my bids were much higher than the prices I would have paid one year ago.

On the other hand I sometimes paid prices which were much too high when I was at the auction in person. By the way, congratulaions for the miniature chain!!!

eitze Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Right, absolutely crazy, I won nothing although my bids were much higher than the prices I would have paid one year ago. Where does all this end?I bid 730 Euro for the Waldeck VK 3. Klasse - it went for 750 In April the same piece was sold for 650 Euro!I was nether in person at an auction and I can say, that 2/3 of my postal bids were a winner But the prices are not normal these days and I don`t want to pay every asked price.If you could wait, it will come back some day !!!greetingseitze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
