I've just learned there will be an auction of some[i:a7413f9dd5]Titanic[/i:a7413f9dd5] articles in June in NYC - the link is http://www.guernseys.com

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to see what's going to be up for auction. :P

This is the text of the message I just recieved from the people running the auction:

Thank you for your inquiry about our exciting upcoming auction focusing on
the Titanic and other historic ocean liners. Although scheduling details
have not yet been finalized, we expect to hold this extraordinary auction in
June of this year. Once the exact date and location are determined, we will
be posting this information, along with further updates about the event, on
our website.

Guernsey302271s will be preparing a comprehensive auction catalogue, fully
illustrating the remarkable collection of artifacts to be offered in this
important sale. The catalogue should be available approximately one month
prior to the auction, and information as to how to order the catalogue will
included on the website as well.

We look forward to sharing additional information about our Titanic auction
with you, and thank you again for contacting us.


I'll keep you updated.

What do you think. Are the articles going to be so far out of reach we could not even attempt to bid on them?

I mean price wise

It also might depend on what is going to be available for bidding. But I would say it would be expensive because it's from the Titanic.

My guess is yes, this will be [i:2f84e72eb4]very[/i:2f84e72eb4] expensive, as this is the first major [i:2f84e72eb4]Titanic[/i:2f84e72eb4] aution in the States in the last 10 years. I would think probably bids starting at $500. For the small stuff, that is. (You should see the prices at the annual auction at the BTS! My GOD!!)

teamtuna,
Did you say you were going to get more information on this auction?
NYC is only 2 1/2 hrs from me. If I could get in and could make it that day, it would be something to see anyway even if I could not bid?

Don't know if they would let nonbidders in<LOL>

Well let me know if you are, because DC is only 2 hours too - maybe we could meet!

All I know about the auction is posted the second I get it in. If it's mail, I'll type it in, promise.

OMG OMG OMG I just learned what will be on the block here - I cannot BELIEVE it!! A piece of Grand Staircase panelling, a lifeboat nameplate, some 1st Class Stationary.......................folks we is talkin' BUCKS!!!!

Betty, we on for lunch? For this, I'm probably getting a buyer's number just to get to [i:4f28e3d216]see[/i:4f28e3d216] the items, which includes a guest - and I [i:4f28e3d216]will [/i:4f28e3d216] be taking pic for you guys, BELIEVE it!!!

Teamtuna,
OMG sounds great. As far as I know June should be OK, but in case not, I will give you plenty of time to get a replacement<LOL>

Hopefully we can take pictures in there
