Re: tbs thing
I've got to admit I've become a 3ker. I used to think it was appalling and I would always earlier in the auction up my bids by appreciable amounts, but then inevitably someone would just follow that up with a 3ker. And unless you insanely overbid the value of a horse early on inevitably someone will outbid you so I've figured why bid early on at early anymore I'm just running the price up (that being said I feel left out and you can always maybe get that underbid so I do still throw a few early bids out). But yes now I mostly just wait until the auction is about to end and just keep throwing out 3k bids on horses I want, often outbidding myself because that is how I found I could actually win horses. The system does admittedly stink for those that for one reason or another can't be at the auction close, but at the end of the day those that are there at auction close are going to do what they can to get a horse they want at the lowest possible cost and that is 3king...

Re: tbs thing
Agreed. Hey more power to the people good and fast enough to actually type in an amount but I am not. I'm always way to nervous to do that and I just keep hitting the bid button.Tammy Stawicki wrote:I've got to admit I've become a 3ker.

Re: tbs thing
doesn't make much sense to me to do anything other than 3K the price, as you say. Unless you want to post 20 mil right off the bat and sit back and wait for the end!

Re: tbs thing
Trying to bid via my iPhone just doesn't work. Oh, well had a great day at the cat shelter, even if I got shut out buying a fake horsie.

Re: tbs thing
I got Colors, but not that impressed. She is a 2 piece (gallop) wow. I would probably sell her to anyone that wanted to pay what I paid, maybe + a few dollars.

Re: tbs thing
I forgot about the end of the auction even though I reminded myself about it a few hours before. Oops! I now have $8 million, the most I've ever had in my bankroll, so if anyone is looking to sell something nice (not only TBS horses) I'm open to offers. I like basically everything except all weather and steeplechasers.
