On line bidding at auctions make it not worth it.

I spent a couple days at an Inmann auction in Allentown with an impressive selection of petro signs, pumps, soda signs and the like. I was very put off buy the on line bidding (ebay) outbidding people on the floor. I don't think a real auction should allow on line or phone bidding. If your not there on the floor - tough luck. I was wondering why I even attended when I could just sit in front of a computer in the comfort of my office. I'm calling for REAL auctions where a guy might be able to pick some stuff up at resonable prices. Of course, if some of MY stuff was for sale I would want all possible sources for bidding. I guess it depends which the side your on.
