Sandia and Los Alamos Auction

While I have bought several items at the Bently's auctions, none were remote.
They do have bidding by Proxy, sometimes via phone, or by a maximum bid (a la
ebay) and you need to set it up with the front office, I was out-bid on
several items by some proxy bidder in Florida once. I think there are more
details on their main web site. I have found them to be very professional and
will go out of thier way to help.


Cheers

Tom
