But proxy is the safest....so you dont get too caught up in the moment...I won a few Buster Keaton lobby cards by proxy and was out scuba diving here on Maui during the live event....priorities!
I personally hate proxy bidding. I like to see what's happening in real time, even if it means missing out on things. I snipe on Ebay, but that's for meaningless crap. With Emovie, I always bid within 5 minutes, and I always bid live at HA. It's part of the fun. It's not always easy, I cannot tell you how many times I bid on Bruce's auctions while jogging (or even driving
) I was skiing when Heritage was happening, I had very little reception and missed out on a bunch of stuff. I annoyed everyone who was skiing with me, but that's also part of the fun.
Btw, love Maui. I was there a couple years ago. I'm taking the whole family to Kauai (my favorite island) this summer for a couple of weeks. Can't wait.
