Private Listing - Bidders' Identities Protected

Shermae, I don't remember exactly when, I remember that when we neared the end of the auction and someone made a new bid, 30 or 60 seconds were added. If it wasn't on ebay, I can't think of another website where I might have participated in auctions.

I have not bid in many ebay auctions, but the few I bid in or followed have always had a fixed end time. It has been quite normal for the winning bid to be made in the final few seconds.

Lot arrived with no issues.

I didn't pay much attention to this description at the time.

"Large group of 100+ used envelopes (completely fill a medium priority size box), from U532 to U677 with a few earlier mixed in. Lots of watermarks and variety identified by UPSS numbers. There is almost no duplication in this lot as there are plain, window, and all different watermarks on these. Many of these are from Ben Hedding and Allen Mintz, both former UPSS members. The used stationery is harder to find in many cases and many catalog higher than mint copies. "

Final count in the box was 581. $34.68 (with tax and shipping} So ~6¢ ea. !!

A modern US Stamped Stationary collectors dream.

Will post some in the appropriate forum.

In around 1997 to perhaps 1999, there was a minor competitor to ebay that had stamp auctions. I believe it was called "auctions-123" however I don't remember now if the end-time of the auction was fluid or not.
