Any comments, interests, etc. on the latest GlassWorks auction?
I hate the 20% winning fee that is tacked on to your bill, but they have to make money.
I have in the past won some pretty good deals, the best one, won a figural bitters true puce bottle. Everyone was bidding on the same figural bitters in red, so I just concentrated on the puce one and got it for a very good price. Years later, sold it for over 300% more than I paid for it.
It seems like they are auctioning off more bottles with damage these days. Am I right or is my senior memory getting the best of me?
I guess when have you so many good looking bottles up for sale, you just sort of have a hard time resisting not bidding(there goes my retirement $.)
So, are there any bottles that anyone likes or just have to have?
