Nice collection of Port for sale

which is more a statement on cellar space and having a lot of 1990s.

Yeah this affected my bidding as well. I have a fair number of 90s Ports and didn't feel like I needed to reach in order to get more, especially with an already full cellar. I'm not sure where I'm going to put the 18 bottles I just won!

It would be neat to figure out what he got compared to our original estimates.

Agreed. I presume LL gets all of the 18% buyers premium. I wonder if they get a cut beyond that, or charge other fees, like to pick up and deliver to them.

I paid about a few dollars more than I would have paid direct, but subtract out the BP and we're right back at the same point.

Assume no seller's commission to start with.

Did anyone bid in the section auction yesterday? Website shows nothing so far...

I did, but placed mostly lowball bids and so did not win any of the lots that I bid on.

[John M.]

I did one lowball on the 1995 Smith Woodhouse---it went for just $250 plus the rest---so that was a bargain IMHO.

I did. Got a case of 1991 Croft for $400

That is good. I bought a case at auction (Zachy's) last November and paid $516.

This marketplace part of the Forum is incredible. I can't think of anywhere else on the web, where there is this type of sharing of info, transparency and willingness to keep "hands off" just based on a fellow member's request when it comes to auction action.
