More Auctions Prices Realized

• Bidders could place absentee bid, but it appeared that the bidder's highest bid was immediately bid. This seemed to happen even when there was only one bid. For example, a Winnie the Pooh Halloween jar below had a starting price of $25. with one absentee bid showing. That was the only bid on the jar and it went for $240. (This is the jar that typically sells for less than $30. on eBay) I noticed similar bids done this way and would certainly make me leery of placing an absentee bid.
• There was a fairly high buyers premium of 17.5% with a 2.5% reduction if paying by cash, check or money order.
• Shipping charge for one jar was $25.
• Would I bid again? Probably not unless it was something I really had to have!
