It looks like there were reserves on some of the lots as they're still listed as for sale and to make an offer.

I know exactly who you mean by Captain Birdseye, he used to go to the Radiophile auctions,but aint seen him there for at least the last x4 auctions.
I was watching the auction streaming live & most of the valves were sold to internet bidders, i think there is more chance that it was Roberto who i am lead to believe was banned from the BVWS auctions & goes under the seller name of messinacat on Ebay.
