auctions experiences ?

[lfid]

I watched the greg martin auction sunday - first time Ive looked into this as a venue to actual purchases

seemed like auction pace was a bit too fast and that the catalog info was inaccessible during the auction from the GM site - but lower quality catalog access was available via the proxibid site

anybody have any tips for methods of accessing the various auction sites that tend to have lugers / similiar items ?

anyone have suggestions on which sites have been positive experiences ?

my experience this one time was that it seemed a better use of time than gunbroker or gun show venue for locating decent offerings - and seemed to reduce the risk of lost $ - but might be offset by higher prices on the choice items - but maybe less choice items were actually reasonable versus the other venues
