Ley's get ready to rumble. And it on. Many books unsold or sold below minimum of expected range.
However
#4 11 volumes on architecture went for double the maximum with multiple bidders

Now near #46, will keep updating this.
 #54 is a set of books which includes Sir G Campbell on Princes and Deal. One prebidder
#61 and 62 to be spirited and of interest. Both sold near bottom of expected range


NOTE: the sold price on the auction site is 120% of the final bid price

The auction shows that prices ranges are going down. Many books unsold, many sold to a single bidder. Very few above expected range. For those of you saving Doak books for the kid's college education, that bubble has burst, but they still sell above sticker price.
Auction going through a lot of Bobby Jones stuff., around item 200
Jones run done.
I have no open bids left
