9 Auction Notes Although we had more No Bid lots than we would like to see, the auction was profitable enough to cover the cost of a meeting room. The literature did not sell well, probably due to the costs of mailing. John has no control over the content of the auction; that is determined by material that he receives. Three lots had five bidders each: the lot of 26 diff Galveston TX type 232 generals; the Los Fresnos, TX, , and the Chattanooga St. Elmo Sta., TN, L-2E. One buyer commented that he was happy to see local blocks, with a few plate numbers, in the auction. Unfortunately, one bidder did not comply with the minimum bid of $0.50 (even when there is no reserve).
