Siegel Changing Auction Platforms

Thank you, PostmasterGS. I use lots of shortcut keystrokes, and that is one I did not know. I hate to be really, really picky, but I prefer a new window so I can Alt/Tab between windows, rather than have a (or a series of) new tab in the same window. Yes, I can drag-n-drop the new tab into its own window, but we are already many steps beyond 'user friendly' for browsing an entire auction.

All this is annoying, but the one thing that really grinds me is that their basic images are too small to get a quick, clear idea of the appearance of the lot. Yes, I buy many lots based on appearance - if the lot passes the 'look' test, then I spend more time reading the description, and doing my due diligence. I am finding that I just have to spend more time to get that initial 'look'. In an auction with 100's or 1000's of lots, that costs me real time.

If you have a single browser window open with multiple tabs, you can use Ctrl-Tab to cycle between tabs. You can also use Ctrl-W/Cmd-W to quickly close a tab, or Ctrl-Q/Cmd-Q to close the entire window.

I typically download the images to my own PC so I can work with them locally (zoom, compare perfs, etc).

Siegel uses a logical file and path naming conventions so downloading them is easy and you do not have to use the new interface. Here is the format of the path/file name

You can simply type the path in your browser and the image will download. You can get creative and build the download list using Excel to auto increment the file names to save on a lot of typing.

There are also ways to automate the scraping of all the images in a batch download but I do not want to post how to do this since most website owners frown on this.
