Alive and Kicking-Large CRT Monitors Offer Best Bang for Your Buck14 Sep, 2004 By: Ron LaFon
Prices on large CRT monitors have dropped substantially since our last CRT review in September 2003. Not so many years ago I remember paying triple what these current CRTs cost. What you don't get for these lower prices are multiple connectivity options—there's usually no USB connectivity whatsoever. The overall quality of these behemoths is, however, excellent.
Some vendors, such as EIZO, are now selling only LCD monitors, though most of the major vendors of computer displays still offer one or more lines of CRT monitors.
Test ProceduresTo begin, I attach a monitor to the test system, power it up, adjust for our standard 1280X1024 at 85Hz test settings, and then allow it to stabilize for at least an hour before running any tests. Though most monitors don't require this long to come up to stable performance, some do, so this puts each monitor on the same footing.
Once the monitor is stabilized, I use DisplayMate Technology's DisplayMate software (www.displaymate.com) to run through a wide range of video tests for brightness, contrast, focus, convergence, purity, geometric distortion, and raster rotation. During the course of testing, I also evaluate the on-screen menu, the general functionality of the controls, and the connectivity options.
Once I complete the tests, I rate the large CRT displays on several factors weighted according to importance: image quality (6X), price (4X), connectivity (2X), image controls (2X), and warranty (1X). An extra credit category is available for any monitor that has some feature of significant value or excellence beyond what's covered in the normal evaluation process. In this particular roundup, no display received extra credit.
CRT Review Summary
I used an NVIDIA FX 3000 graphics card with the NVIDIA 56.72 drivers in an @Xi Computer 4240 MTower SP workstation for all the tests. See p. 36 for a First Look review of this system.
Evaluating the scores can be difficult at times. I never know the star ratings until I test all the monitors and compare the results.
Certain things tend to stand out during evaluation, such as a lack of more than the most basic connectivity options or a warranty that extends beyond the norm. The overall quality of the large CRT monitors tested here is very high, but slight flaws have a way of becoming magnified in the final tally. A quarter-point off in one area can be a determining factor in the final rating. None of the monitors achieved an A+ score during testing, though the IBM C220p came close with display quality. Its very slight flaws were not enough to warrant a specific deduction, although enough to dissuade me from giving an A+.
Pricing is another area where an otherwise excellent monitor can get less than top ratings. If the pricing of a particular display is out of line with comparable displays included in the roundup, the deduction can again be amplified as a result of the weighted nature of the report card.
I do hope that large CRT monitors continue to be available. Unless LCD flat-panel monitors suddenly achieve much faster response times, the CRT units will remain the most responsive and reasonably priced of large displays. What will my next monitor purchase be? I expect to buy two new 21" or larger monitors by the end of this year. Though many things about large LCD monitors are attractive, my two new monitors will both be large CRT displays like those reviewed and evaluated here.
Star rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 Price: $679
The Dell P1230 is a 22" monitor with a 20.3" viewing area and a rated dot pitch of 0.24mm. The P1230 offers a maximum resolution of 1600X1200 at 106.3Hz (UXGA) and has a 98% color gamut for vivid, accurate colors. The unit received for evaluation features an attractive dark gray case that measures 19.7" X 19.7" X 18.5" (wXhXd) and weighs a hefty 77.1lb, the heaviest monitor in this review by a significant margin.
The Dell P1230 22" monitor offers good viewing and an easy-to-use menu.
Pricing for the Dell P1230 is a bit on the high side at $679 when compared with most of the other monitors in this review. The P1230 incorporates two standard D-sub connectors, with no DVI connectors or USB.
On the test bench, the Dell P1230 showed some very slight softness on two edges, but because detail was high, I gave no deduction. Similarly, some very slight misalignment appeared at the edges of the screen on the convergence test, but again it wasn't significant enough to warrant a point deduction. On the color purity tests, however, the reds were too orange and the magenta was overly bright, resulting in a quarter-point deduction. All other scores were generally excellent. Some very slight banding occurred in horizontal gradations that should've been a smooth progression.
The Dell P1230 has five highly visible small buttons to the left of the Dell logo on the bottom bezel of the monitor and a larger power toggle and LED power indicator to the right of the logo. One button is for selecting the input source and the next one is for navigating the menu system. The on-screen menu is easy to navigate and use. There is a 5° tilt option.
The Dell P1230 is covered by a standard three-year warranty. If you use a Dell monitor with a Dell system, it's also supported by Dell Technical Support.
The slight deduction for color purity and the relatively high price for the P1230 resulted in a star rating of 4.5 once I tallied the weighted factors. This is an excellent monitor, but because the general quality of all the tested displays is very high, slight deductions pushed some CRTs away from a 5-star rating.
Star rating: 5 stars out of 5 Price: $569
The HP p1230 monitor is part of the Performance series of monitors from Hewlett-Packard. This 22" aperture-grille monitor with a 20" viewable area offers a 0.24mm dot pitch. The HP p1230 comes with an attractive carbon and silver housing that measures 19.1" X 19.5" X 18.8" (wXhXd). Immediately obvious was the excellent antiglare coating on the screen, which stops most environmental reflections.
The Hewlett-Packard p1230 delivers excellent display quality for a great price.
The HP p1230 weighs 66.1lb and includes two standard D-sub connectors, vertically mounted, on the rear of the monitor. There is no USB connectivity. The HP p1230 is priced at $569, which earned it a A for pricing.
The SuperBright Diamondtron CRT technology incorporated in the p1230 doubles the brightness level with the simple touch of an on-screen display button and helps maintain image crispness for graphics, animation, and video. Maximum resolution on the HP p1230 monitor is 1920X1440 at 60Hz.
The on-screen menu is adequate, but a little awkward to navigate, although I gave no deduction for it. This is a very subjective thing to grade. Seven control buttons are located at the bottom center of the matte silver bezel. These include a power toggle with an LED power indicator, an input toggle to choose which video feed is functional, and an on-screen menu on/off switch. The other buttons help navigate the menu system.
Reviewers Report Card
The p1230 supports six languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Japanese.
The image display on the HP p1230 is very attractive. The only deduction for display quality was a quarter-point for yellows that were slightly dull. Otherwise, all the test scores were excellent, without even the slightest imperfection.
The HP p1230 is covered by a three-year warranty that covers parts, labor, and CRT.
Hewlett-Packard monitors are held to high recycling standards, are certified for low emissions, and are compliant with Energy Star and most major international standards.
You network folks can save time and errors by tracking monitor information electronically with Insight Manager, which provides individual users or network administrators with monitor model, serial number, resolution, and video controller information.
Even with the quarter-point deduction for display quality, the HP p1230 earned a 5-star rating. Highly Recommended.
ThinkVision C220p
Star rating: 5 stars out of 5 Price: $649
The IBM ThinkVision C220p monitor's attractive matte-black housing typifies the attention to detail in both design and construction that characterizes IBM hardware. It's well designed and engineered.
The ThinkVision C220p is a 22" aperture-grille monitor with a 0.24mm dot pitch. The bandwidth on this display is 360MHz, and it offers a maximum resolution of 2048X1536 at 80Hz. The C220p measures 20.2" X 20.3" X 19.1" (wXhXd) and weighs in at 67.2lb.
IBM's ThinkVision C220p monitor is well designed and well engineered. It earned a 5-star Highly Recommended rating.
Although there's no USB connectivity on the ThinkVision C220p, it has a single standard D-sub connector and a single DVI-A connector located at the rear. Priced at a slightly high $649 when compared with other monitors in this roundup, the monitor earned a B+ score for price on our report card.
The IBM ThinkVision C220p is the only monitor in this roundup to post across-the-board perfect scores for display quality, albeit with a couple of slight caveats. I noted some very slight edge softness, but because detail was distinct and the softness barely discernible under magnification, I gave no deductions. Similarly, the color purity test showed the C220p to have greens that were slightly over-bright, though again this was not significant enough to result in a deduction. Such overly bright greens typically affect gradations in bright green areas of the display, but in this case, as with the slightly soft focus just noted, the brightness wasn't enough to result in a deduction. Otherwise, the display was both excellent and attractive.
The controls on the IBM ThinkVision C220p consist of four buttons and a large power toggle with an accompanying LED power indicator. One of the control buttons is for selection of the video input source, with the remainder for navigating and adjusting the image display settings. Additional menu controls include manual degauss, information displaying resolution, refresh rate, product details/borderless operation, and menu position. The on-screen menu is simple and easy to navigate, understand, and use.
Warranty coverage for the IBM ThinkVision C220p is a standard three years on labor, parts, and CRT.
This monitor incorporates IBM's ThinkVantage design to enhance usability and is especially useful for users of CAD/CAM, imaging, and digital content creation applications.
The IBM ThinkVision C220p is attractive to look at and offers a high-quality, if not perfect, image that's easy on the eye. The C220p should be easy to use day-in and day-out for extended periods of time. It's one of four monitors in this roundup to receive Cadalyst's coveted 5-star rating. Highly Recommended.
Vision Master Pro 514, HM204DTA
Iiyama North America
Star rating: 5 stars out of 5 Price: $579
The Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 has a couple of extras not found in any of the other monitors reviewed here: USB support (v1.1; hub is 4 down and 1 up) is built into the base of the monitor, as are a couple of small speakers. The stand on the Vision Master Pro 514 is distinctive in other ways as well—it incorporates the power switch, the menu control system, and the video connectors.
The Vision Master Pro 514 is a 22" aperture-grille monitor with a 20" viewable area. It features a 390MHz dot clock and a dot pitch of 0.24mm. This putty-colored monitor measures 19.4" X 19.7" X 18.9" (wXhXd) and weighs 64.9lb. Maximum display resolution is 2048X1536 at 85Hz.
The Vision Master Pro 514 from Iiyama is an excellent, 5-star monitor for a great price.
Two D-sub connectors are located in the monitor base along with the USB port. The power switch, source selector, and menu navigation pad make the base the effective control center for the monitor.
The single multidirection navigation button (up, down, left, and right all in one button) makes navigating the simple but complete menu system a snap. The menu is easy to understand, use, and navigate. It supports English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Japanese.
Probably the main feature of this high-end monitor is the new high-brightness tube that, at the touch of a button, switches from the normal display mode to high-brightness mode, the equivalent of a TV screen, which is an especially useful feature for videos, image processing applications, and those who occasionally use their CAD systems for games.
The Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 is well priced at $579. With its feature set and quality, you get a lot for that price. The monitor received a slight deduction in the price category on the report card because of aggressive pricing by other monitor vendors participating here.
As with the majority of monitors tested, the only quality and performance deduction was a quarter-point for color purity. In this case, the yellow appeared slightly dull. All other display characteristics were excellent throughout, without even slight imperfections. The slight deductions for pricing and display quality were offset by the overall high quality of the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 when the report card and star ratings were tabulated.
Warranty coverage on the Vision Master Pro 514 is three years, including all parts and labor.
All the little extras that go into a good display come together to make this an excellent monitor, despite the slight deduction for color purity. Taken all together, the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 earned a Cadalyst Labs 5-star rating. Highly Recommended.
MultiSync FE2111SB
NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display
Star rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 Price: $599.99
NEC-Mitsubishi's entry for this large CRT roundup is the MultiSync FE2111SB, a 22" aperture-grille monitor with a 20" viewable area and a dot pitch rating of 0.24mm. The synchronous range for the MultiSync FE2111SB is 30-115KHz horizontally and 50-160Hz vertically, and the maximum resolution is 1920X1440 at 75Hz.
NEC-Mitsubishi's MultiSync FE2111SB costs $599.99, right in the middle of this group of monitors.
The NEC-Mitsubishi MultiSync FE2111SB is housed in a well-designed and handsome two-toned putty case. A black case is also available. The monitor measures 19.5" X 19.1" X 18.5" (wXhXd) and weighs 65.3lb. The monitor offers no USB connectivity and only a single D-sub connector, earning it a B.
At $599.99, the MultiSync FE2111SB is priced at about the median for the monitors in this roundup—neither the highest nor the lowest price here. The MultiSync FE2111SB is covered by a limited three-year warranty on CRT, parts, and labor. Extended warranty coverage is available as an option.
The on-screen menu is adequate, although I found it a bit difficult to navigate. The MultiSync FE2111SB menu system supports six languages.
Seven control buttons and an LED power indicator reside at the bottom center of the front bezel. Further below and separate is the power toggle, located where it can't be hit accidentally—one of many nice touches evident in the design of this monitor. Another is that the monitor cabinet features recessed cable connections. One of the control buttons is a toggle for the SuperBright feature (on, off, and movie), another button is a reset, and the remaining buttons control the menu system.
If the FE2111SB monitor doesn't fit your needs, NEC-Mitsubishi is almost certain to have one that will. The company offers a broad selection of both LCD and CRT monitors and information displays in screen sizes from 15" to 40", with a variety of options in any given size range.
On the test bench, the only quality or performance deduction the NEC-Mitsubishi MultiSync FE2111SB monitor received was a quarter-point for yellows and reds that were slightly dull. Otherwise, the quality was consistently excellent in all other evaluated areas. The displayed image was crisp and attractive, and should be very easy to live with in everyday use for extended periods of time. The OptiClear+ coating used on the screen virtually eliminates glare and reflections.
The MultiSync FE2111SB has a very solid and substantial feel that is the result of good design and engineering. It earned a 4.5-star rating.
Star rating: 5 stars out of 5 Price: $493
The ViewSonic G220fb monitor distinguishes itself from the rest of the pack in several different ways. The G220fb is, first of all, the only CRT in this roundup based on Invar shadow-mask technology. All the other displays reviewed here are based on aperture-grille designs. The ViewSonic G220fb is a 21" monitor with a 20" viewable area. The model tested was housed in an attractive matte black housing with a stylish but unobtrusive design. The maximum resolution of the G220fb is 2048X1536 at 68Hz, and the dot pitch is a moderate 0.25mm.
A Highly Recommended monitor, the ViewSonic G220fb posted excellent results on our Cadalyst Labs tests.
The G220fb weighed in at a relatively trim 59.4lb, further distinguishing itself by being the lightest of all the monitors in this roundup.
The on-screen menu is easy to navigate and understand. Five buttons are located at the bottom center of the bezel. On the far right (separated by a divider) is a power toggle, accompanied by an LED power indicator. The other four buttons are for navigating the on-screen menu. With all the buttons the same matte black color as the housing, it's a little difficult to see which button does what, but this is something you quickly get used to.
The specially formulated ARAG screen treatment uses an advanced multilayer process to eliminate glare and reflection while maintaining the highest image quality, and is truly excellent.
At $493, the ViewSonic G220fb once again distinguishes itself—this time by being the least expensive monitor in this roundup.
On the test bench, the G220fb generally got high scores. The only two deductions were minor—a quarter-point off for contrast and another quarter-point off for color purity. The contrast of the ViewSonic G220fb was lower than I like, even turned up all the way. Though this resulted in lots of separation in dark tones, it lacked a certain snap. The color deduction was for a very slightly dull red, though other colors were excellent, particularly the yellow and green. Yellow seems to be difficult to reproduce, but the yellow on the G220fb was clear and clean. Green—which on many monitors is overly bright—was also clean and clear, providing subtle gradations in brighter greens.
Though the ViewSonic G220fb is one of three large CRT monitors to get a Cadalyst Labs 5-star rating in this review, the G220fb actually received the highest overall score by a slight margin. Highly Recommended.

"On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, we were about 5 hours out of Frankfurt, flying over the North Atlantic . All of a sudden the curtains parted and I was told to go to the cockpit, immediately, to see the captain. As soon as I got there I noticed that the crew had that "All Business" look on their faces. The captain handed me a printed message. It was from Delta's main office in Atlanta and simply read, "All airways over the Continental United States are closed to commercial air traffic. Land ASAP at the nearest airport. Advise your destination."
"No one said a word about what this could mean. We knew it was a serious situation and we needed to find terra firma quickly. The captain determined that the nearest airport was 400 miles behind us in Gander, Newfoundland. He requested approval for a route change from the Canadian traffic controller and approval was granted immediately–no questions asked. We found out later, of course, why there was no hesitation in approving our request.
"While the flight crew prepared the airplane for landing, another message arrived from Atlanta telling us about some terrorist activity in the New York area. A few minutes later word came in about the hijackings.
"We decided to LIE to the passengers while we were still in the air. We told them the plane had a simple instrument problem and that we needed to land at the nearest airport in Gander, Newfoundland to have it checked out.
"We promised to give more information after landing in Gander . There was much grumbling among the passengers, but that's nothing new! Forty minutes later, we landed in Gander. Local time at Gander was 12:30 PM! …. that's 11:00 AM EST.
"There were already about 20 other airplanes on the ground from all over the world that had taken this detour on their way to the U.S. After we parked on the ramp, the captain made the following announcement: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must be wondering if all these airplanes around us have the same instrument problem as we have. The reality is that we are here for another reason." Then he went on to explain the little bit we knew about the situation in the U.S. There were loud gasps and stares of disbelief. The captain informed passengers that Ground control in Gander told us to stay put.
"The Canadian Government was in charge of our situation and no one was allowed to get off the aircraft. No one on the ground was allowed to come near any of the air crafts. Only airport police would come around periodically, look us over and go on to the next airplane. In the next hour or so more planes landed and Gander ended up with 53 airplanes from all over the world, 27 of which were U.S. commercial jets.
"Meanwhile, bits of news started to come in over the aircraft radio and for the first time we learned that airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York and into the Pentagon in DC. People were trying to use their cell phones, but were unable to connect due to a different cell system in Canada . Some did get through, but were only able to get to the Canadian operator who would tell them that the lines to the U.S. were either blocked or jammed.
"Sometime in the evening the news filtered to us that the World Trade Center buildings had collapsed and that a fourth hijacking had resulted in a crash. By now the passengers were emotionally and physically exhausted, not to mention frightened, but everyone stayed amazingly calm. We had only to look out the window at the 52 other stranded aircraft to realize that we were not the only ones in this predicament.
"We had been told earlier that they would be allowing people off the planes one plane at a time. At 6 PM, Gander airport told us that our turn to deplane would be 11 am the next morning. Passengers were not happy, but they simply resigned themselves to this news without much noise and started to prepare themselves to spend the night on the airplane.
" Gander had promised us medical attention, if needed, water, and lavatory servicing. And they were true to their word. Fortunately we had no medical situations to worry about. We did have a young lady who was 33 weeks into her pregnancy. We took REALLY good care of her. The night passed without incident despite the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.
"About 10:30 on the morning of the 12th a convoy of school buses showed up. We got off the plane and were taken to the terminal where we went through Immigration and Customs and then had to register with the Red Cross.
"After that we (the crew) were separated from the passengers and were taken in vans to a small hotel. We had no idea where our passengers were going. We learned from the Red Cross that the town of Gander has a population of 10,400 people and they had about 10,500 passengers to take care of from all the airplanes that were forced into Gander ! We were told to just relax at the hotel and we would be contacted when the U.S. airports opened again, but not to expect that call for a while.
"We found out the total scope of the terror back home only after getting to our hotel and turning on the TV, 24 hours after it all started.
"Meanwhile, we had lots of time on our hands and found that the people of Gander were extremely friendly. They started calling us the "plane people." We enjoyed their hospitality, explored the town of Gander and ended up having a pretty good time.
"Two days later, we got that call and were taken back to the Gander airport. Back on the plane, we were reunited with the passengers and found out what they had been doing for the past two days. What we found out was incredible.
" Gander and all the surrounding communities (within about a 75 Kilometer radius) had closed all high schools, meeting halls, lodges, and any other large gathering places. They converted all these facilities to mass lodging areas for all the stranded travelers. Some had cots set up, some had mats with sleeping bags and pillows set up.
"ALL the high school students were required to volunteer their time to take care of the "guests." Our 218 passengers ended up in a town called Lewisporte, about 45 kilometers from Gander where they were put up in a high school. If any women wanted to be in a women-only facility, that was arranged. Families were kept together. All the elderly passengers were taken to private homes.
"Remember that young pregnant lady? She was put up in a private home right across the street from a 24-hour Urgent Care facility. There was a dentist on call and both male and female nurses remained with the crowd for the duration.
"Phone calls and e-mails to the U.S. and around the world were available to everyone once a day. During the day, passengers were offered "Excursion" trips. Some people went on boat cruises of the lakes and harbors. Some went for hikes in the local forests. Local bakeries stayed open to make fresh bread for the guests. Food was prepared by all the residents and brought to the schools. People were driven to restaurants of their choice and offered wonderful meals. Everyone was given tokens for local laundry mats to wash their clothes, since luggage was still on the aircraft. In other words, every single need was met for those stranded travelers.
"Passengers were crying while telling us these stories. Finally, when they were told that U.S. airports had reopened, they were delivered to the airport right on time and without a single passenger missing or late. The local Red Cross had all the information about the whereabouts of each and every passenger and knew which plane they needed to be on and when all the planes were leaving. They coordinated everything beautifully. It was absolutely incredible.
"When passengers came on board, it was like they had been on a cruise. Everyone knew each other by name. They were swapping stories of their stay, impressing each other with who had the better time. Our flight back to Atlanta looked li ke a chartered party flight. The crew just stayed out of their way. It was mind-boggling. Passengers had totally bonded and were calling each other by their first names, exchanging phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.
"And then a very unusual thing happened. One of our passengers approached me and asked if he could make an announcement over the PA system. We never, ever allow that. But this time was different. I said "of course" and handed him the mike. He picked up the PA and reminded everyone about what they had just gone through in the last few days. He reminded them of the hospitality they had received at the hands of total strangers. He continued by saying that he would like to do something in return for the good folks of Lewisporte.
"He said he was going to set up a Trust Fund under the name of DELTA 15 (our flight number). The purpose of the trust fund is to provide college scholarships for the high school students of Lewisporte. He asked for donations of any amount from his fellow travelers. When the paper with donations got back to us with the amounts, names, phone numbers and addresses, the total was for more than $14,000!
"The gentleman, a MD from Virginia , promised to match the donations and to start the administrative work on the scholarship. He also said that he would forward this proposal to Delta Corporate and ask them to donate as well. As I write this account, the trust fund is at more than $1.5 million and has assisted 134 students in college education.

Columbia Art Center's Empty Bowls fundraiser returns to help Howard County residents in need
Empty bowls will help lead to full plates — and financial assistance and other help for Howard County residents in need.
Columbia Association's (CA) Columbia Art Center will again be hosting its "Empty Bowls" fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 6, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. The Art Center is located at 6100 Foreland Garth in the Long Reach Village Center.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Art Center or over the telephone. Guests receive their pick of one of 300 beautiful, one-of-a-kind handmade bowls made by Art Center students and faculty, and will also be entertained by live music, a studio demonstration, a silent art auction, raffles and light fare.
The proceeds of the event will be donated to FISH of Howard County Inc. For more than three decades, the agency has provided food, financial assistance, referral information and other aid to county residents with legitimate emergency needs, according to its website.
This is the fourth Empty Bowls event hosted at the Columbia Art Center. The first was held in 2008.
"We believe it is important to do our part in giving back to the community in whatever ways we can," said Liz Henzey, director of the Columbia Art Center. "There is something really amazing about artists and community members coming together for a wonderful cause and sharing their talents and creativity to impact change."
According to the FISH of Howard County website, the agency received more than 2,250 requests for assistance in a recent 12-month period.
"Those 2,000-plus calls translated into food supplies for approximately 29,000 nutritionally balanced meals delivered to the homes of hungry families, more than $40,000 in assistance for evictions, utility turnoffs or other crisis needs, and nearly $39,000 for prescription assistance," the website said.

Lol! Lin shot 100%ReplyDelete
Ah who said Lin's ball handling was shaky? Did you see the two moves he put on Prigioni? Those were sick man. Go JLin!ReplyDeleteReplies
Wonder whats with Kidds head... he hit another tree while driving drunk? JR on the passengers seat? :)ReplyDelete
Ugh that was not a good possession by Lin. Why did he slow down on that fast break and pick up his dribble? Take it to the basket!ReplyDeleteReplies
That said, his last play on the break where he made that assist to Parsons was great.Delete
omg...you all see how JLin out-run all the Knicks and passed to Parson for a dunk. Dam....He's pretty fast.ReplyDeleteReplies

parsons and harden showReplyDelete
nice steal by lin at the end of the halfReplies
Exactly what I said at the same time. :)Delete
Parsons has proven to be a VERY solid player with all-star potential, indeed.ReplyDelete
It's Harden and Parsons show right now. Parsons really benefited from having Harden on Rockets.ReplyDelete
End of 1st half - Rockets has 72 points. That's an NBA 2K13 score. Harden has shot 15 free throws. I guess Harden as primary ballhandler works when the refs are giving him everything...ReplyDeleteReplies
Harden *Is* a top NBA player. Let's give credit where credit is due.Delete
Kidd can't guard him. Harden just beats his man and takes it to the holeDelete
To clarify, I wasn't disrespecting Harden, just saying his new role as primary ballhandler is predicated on getting to the lineDelete
They should have 144 by the end of the game :)Delete
When everything is said and done, Lin has to find a way to fit with Harden, since it's clear that Rockets considers Harden to be their number 1 asset. Parsons is getting a lot of points with Harden, so it can be done, if you have a reliable shooting.Delete
Lin needs to emulate Wade.Delete
Wade was still able to score 20+ without being the primary option.
Not saying Lin is Wade but Lin can still score.
At the half Lin looks solid. Still not aggressive on the offensive end and picks up his dribble too much, but all in all a good half of playReplyDelete
Don't underestimate the Knicks. They came back in a 12-pt deficit in less than a quarter.ReplyDeleteReplies
Rockets need some killer instinct and put the game out of reach in the 3rd.Delete
They don't want to repeat the Portland game
Lin still need more confident to play.ReplyDeleteReplies
True, but on a day when Harden and Parsons are redhot, Lin is being smart by getting out of the way, and contributing on defence (which I must say he is doing very well today) and being efficient when he gets to shootDelete
Lin may not be doing anything too over the top, but he's shooting well and playing solid defense. Nothing flashy, but he's playing solid. No complaints + Rocket's are up.ReplyDelete
Let JLin handle the ball and set up Harden or Parsons in 2nd half and the Rox will get this win. Play otherwise and it'll be another loss. That's what I would do if I were Sampson, but knowing Sampson, he will screw this one up somehow. Me knocking on wood....ReplyDeleteReplies
Lin is not yet that confident. He needs to learn to play more off the ball and attack any openings.Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
I would only do that if things change drastically. Harden and Parsons have been the primary ball handlers today and the Rockets scored 72 in 48 mins. Maybe if the refs stop giving Harden the calls and Parsons goes coldDelete
Honestly it's really frustrating watching this kind of basketball from jlin. He has hardly shot any free throws recently because of lack of aggression. When I see him get the inbound pass n immediately pass to Harden, I just cringe before he even cross the half court. Where is the fearless jlin we all knew? Is this because of the injury or system? I don't get it. Yes parson is hot n James is hot, but watching James go 1 on 1 while everyone watches is he ugliest defense.ReplyDeleteReplies
He just made another layup :) But true - he should do it more often.Delete
ARGHH Asik starts the 3Q with a TO.ReplyDelete

Lin driving again in this game. I like what I see. He is finishing now.ReplyDeleteReplies
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
Felton has 14/7 already with two 3 pointers in a row. Was that a pass or an air ball? An air ball, I guess. Man, can't even make a reverse lay-up.ReplyDelete
LOL at Asik not dunking or laying up when up against BrewerReplyDelete
No asst from that air ball lolReplyDelete
I like how Chandler/Asik is there to get the rebs when JLin misses...Way to go.ReplyDelete
It's ironic that Houston's strength in transition offense is the perfect counter for the Knick's propensity to launch a lot of 3 PT-ers when they missed.ReplyDelete
I'm lovin' all the layups and dunks :)
Jeremy can't get a whistle -- Tyson flops and trips him...TO on Jeremy. Jeremy gets shoved on a fast-break...no call. But he's driving and finishing consistently despite refs pocketing their whistles against him.ReplyDelete
This is why I can't stand NBA most of the time. It's way too dependent on refs. Harden gets calls no matter how light the contact is. Jeremy never gets calls unless he's mugged...even then it's not guaranteed.
Jeremy Lin's mind set has to change. As the team assigns him this "role player" role and the touches are already limited, he has to become more selfish whenever he touches the ball.ReplyDelete
ASIK! ASIK! ASIK!ReplyDelete
Come on Chandler...ReplyDelete
Tyson is about to get ejected for that vicious elbow!ReplyDelete
Wow how is Tyson still in the game...That elbow was uncalled for.ReplyDelete
Wow go JEREMY!!!ReplyDelete
3 pointer for LIN! FINALLY!ReplyDelete
I'm a native NY'er and lifelong NYK fan.ReplyDelete
I'm currently in TX and of course a JLin supporter. It sucks when the Knicks are playing horrendously with a lack of discipline and class. It sucks again when JLin looks like his pre-linsanity self. It's nice to see him with some points but to be objective.... he has very little impact in this game right now (in my opinion, it's mainly due to the lack of connection with his teammates seen in his drop in assist).
Can anyone run an analysis to see how many times each player passes to Lin? It will say something about their individual relationships.
LIN ripping of Melo!ReplyDelete
Big steal on CARMELO GO LIN!!!ReplyDelete
NICE STEAL!!!ReplyDelete
3 and a hustle play -- great job by Lin.ReplyDelete
Finally! Lin made it! I hope he will bring his confident back from that 3 points shot!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I like what i saw so far fellas...ReplyDelete
my goodness our boy needed that 3 like a nomad needs water in the desert! great hit by j, hope it sparks some confidence! nice steal on melo to spark a fast break. rockets running knicks off the floor.ReplyDelete
Hehe, Jeremy smiled after that 3.ReplyDelete
Just relax, J-Lin! You still got the game to be a star. Can't fake those passes, steals, drives and rebounds you've been making all season.
It's just a shooting slump slump really. The Bulls games was his only real "negative" game where he hurt his team overall.
Lin for 3!! Lin is alive, Lin is enjoy the game :DReplyDelete
PLEASE keep the 20 point lead Rockets! BTW - Lin playing already 28 minutesReplyDelete
Okay, it's time to turn-off ISO-HardenReplyDelete
Asik finally playing good hesitation moves :)ReplyDelete
Two makable layups missed -- bad for stat.ReplyDelete
Dam refs don't give Lin any break at all.ReplyDelete
Jeremy didn't get credit for a steal he caused...that's the 3rd or 4th time that's happened this season.ReplyDelete
JLin and TD kicking Knicks ass :)ReplyDelete
Sigh Jeremy needs to stop with the jump passes...ReplyDelete
Lin to TD to throw a dagger down the Knicks throat at the end of 3Q... feels good man...ReplyDelete
After he made the 3 , it was crowd .ReplyDelete
13/5/5 6/11 shooting through 3 is just fine, great set up for TD for 3 to end the quarter keeps the rocket party goingReplyDelete
big thing that's good to see is his aggressiveness and relaxation
out boy will be fine, we all just want to see linsanity so badly like crack addicts need the pipe
at least, that's how i've been feeling
Come on Rox - 24 lead. Cant loose this one!ReplyDelete
Lin looking like he's working his way out of his slump. Still not finishing at the rim like he did last year but it will comeReplyDelete
4 TO he gotta slow down manReplyDelete
i've decided not to watch the game but i couldn't help it. Might as well check the 4th quarter. I wanted the rockets to win because Jlin needed this. So imagine my surprise when its a 20 point lead. I wont make excuses for the knicks.ReplyDelete
I don't care how this game ends. Despite refs aggressively hurting him, Jeremy consistently drove to the rim and finished solidly. He hit a 3 to break his 0-for streak. He forced steals (the scorer missed 1-2). He rebounded. He even smiled.ReplyDelete
His teammates blew 3-4 easy assists for him, but who cares...he's been making great passes all season. His assist numbers will go up in the second half of the season once this young team plays together more.
Jlin going for double doubleReplyDeleteReplies
Nah he's done for the night.Delete
- AnonymousNovember 23, 2012 at 7:13 PM
great game for Jeremy! and yet again...he surprises us. Glad Parsons is getting comfortable and now Jeremy driving again.ReplyDelete
This is fun to watch. Sampson feeling Lin's presence...played him more than one quarter straight.
Why the hell you all always have some bad to say about his game? First time I see the Rox play with confidence, and heck first time I see JLin plays with confidence. He's not going to make everything. The game is exciting to watch, and he does it to his old team. So just enjoy it for once and leave all the negatives unsaid.ReplyDelete
I like how Sampson pulled Lin out after couple TOs and 3 easy misses...Give him time to reset.ReplyDelete
Lol I esp liked Lin passing to TD to close the quarter and TD sinks that 3pt. I bet that build some chemistry there!
Although Lin played decently, he needs to drive and finish those shots. Anyway, I don't think Lin had a real impact on the game though. At least, he finished with 50% shooting, the highest for this season. I would call it even with Felton's performance.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree that on offence it was Parsons and Harden who gets all the credit BUT Lin's defence and hustle was fantastic tonight. He had 7 rebounds as a point guard!Delete
felton stunk it up aside from hitting 3s. lin pretty much shut him down, even stole it from him.Delete
Are you fkking serious dude? No impact on the game? Playing the best D, hustled for every dead ball, dive on the floor for lose ball, hit his 3 pointer, set up for open jump shots for his team mates. What was it again>? Didn't have a real impact on the game? I'm speechless.Delete
- AnonymousNovember 23, 2012 at 7:23 PM
eb5 is always negative about Lin...tough love?Delete
For the most part, Houston has been in most games despite shooting a lot of threes and not making that many. The only explanation is the defense. Lin is a great defensive player, and Felton really struggled at the beginning. Yes, Felton got hot later on in the game but it was too little, too late.Delete
Agreed. Lin played great D and grabbed 7 rebounds. He most definitely had an impact. The game isn't as simple as it seems. Without his impact, we don't know how the chemistry of the game would have unfolded. And of course, this is true for all the other players who played well. It's NOT easy to play well in the NBA. And every single time you do it, it's a HUGE deal.Delete
The problem is people sometimes think the game is only offence... And PG defence tends to get particularly overlooked.Delete
impact? Sure he did. There was solid play all around . He may not have scored like Parsons and Harden but he still had a positive impact on the gameDelete
Thats just eb5attorney guys...Delete
troll post. Eb is blind, did you see him crawl on the floor under Carmelo to steal the ball and poke Felton from behind and bring the crowd with that 3 pointer? Lin is the floor general and he's shown it tonight.Delete
Yeah, I am fkking serious dude. Lin played well, relative to how he played. But several wild plays almost put a stop to Rockets momentum.Delete
His defense was great today.Delete
Offense he is still deferring...But he had some nice drives. He still hesitates sometimes.
His jumpers are starting to land, that's what counts. He is 50% today, seems insignificant, but this is very important to his confidence.
Beating an 8-2 team? That's going to be a morale boost for every rocket.
Hustle play for sure, but no floor general. Just the same handing over the ball to Harden and getting out of the way. Lin did try to drive to the rim more but couldn't finish a lot of them. Otherwise he would have had 20 points. Don't be an elfish.Delete

Before the game ! The Knicks said they are not going to embarrass lin. I think they are embarrassing themselves lolReplyDeleteReplies
LOL! AgreeDelete
As the saying goes Pride Come before a Fall for a couple of anti- Lin guys on the Knicks. Lin kept his humility and fought back on this one. Well done Jeremy ! Let's hope this can be the momentum you can build on going forward.Delete
personally i think the knicks come in afraid that Lin will embarrass them. They know what Lin is capable of. They forgot Lin has other team mates.Delete
Beardsanity!! Linsanity! Parsiksanity!ReplyDelete
17/8, with 50% plus shooting is not stinking it up.ReplyDeleteReplies
Nobody said Felton was stinking it up dude...Delete
Look at what ntt said above. I am not making it up. Saying Felton stunk it up is not being fair.Delete
its smith who's throwing those bricks as always.Delete
Ok, let me amend that, other than NTT, nobody said Felton was stinking it up.
Felton played well.
- AnonymousNovember 23, 2012 at 7:40 PM
Do we really have to compare who is better/worse? Lin played a nice game albeit not a superb one. Felton played well too. Yet, this is a team sport. Lin's teammates lift Lin up with this game. Knick didn't. That is it. The game is not decided by two players.Delete
If you go to realgm NYK, they're pretty annoyed with Felton. They said he played for himself rather than the team, and its was obvious that Felton was making it a Felton vs Lin thing rather than playing for the team.Delete
i stand by my statement. felton stunk it up all game when lin was shutting him down. even stole it from him. hitting a few 3s when lin wasn't guarding him doesn't equate to a good game.Delete
Gotta agree with ntt here looks like Felton made it personal...Well you know how it goes when you make it a "me" game in team sports...Delete
Eh, Felton is a high volume shooter in this Knicks offence and if anything he took FEWER shots than he normally does. He is averaging 14.6 shots a game this season. In this game he only took 11 shots, making 6 of them.Delete
I actually liked the way Felton played on the offence. The few times he tried to drive he was choked off by Lin. Instead, he started relying on getting good shots on the perimeter when Lin rotated off him or when Harden was assigned to him. That's smart, efficient play.
The fact that Felton had a decent game is not a knock on Lin, you know...
Lin is resting and smirking right now :)ReplyDelete
Looks like the Knicks have used up their defense quota for the season. Can't be the champ without defense.ReplyDelete
First from NY to hug JLin? NovakReplyDeleteReplies
No Linsanity - no Novakaine :)Delete
Lin only got 2 true friends in the Knicks , Novak and iman .ReplyDeleteReplies
all this does is set up one absolutely must watch national TV game Dec 17 at MSG and we all know how Jeremy loves them lights.ReplyDelete
This was one hell of a middle finger by the Rockets to all of NY in support of J. They lifted him up tonightReplies
The offensive efficiency today was off the charts. Asik had 18 pts on 11 shots, Parsons had 31 on 17 and Harden had 33 on 15. Nobody should blame Lin for deferring tonight when three players are going off in that manner. He's not a stat-line stuffer for its own sake.Delete
By then JLin should be close to 100%. Its going to be a nice game. Rockets will want to torch Knicks - JLin will play his heart out - Douglas as well - Knicks are going to be under pressure - protecting homecourt thats cheering for JLin :)Delete
People say he is humble and stuff but we all know he loves to be upstage!
Lin needs to learn to play off Harden like Parsons. When he can shoot that well, he can demand more touches like Parsons.Delete
The Rockets will never let Lin be the primary handler with the presence of Harden but it doesn't mean he can't score and have an impact on offense. Lin just needs to shoot the ball especially the 3s better.
Agreed he did a good job facilitating and seemed alive even off ball.Delete
Shooting 50%...Missed some easy layups but Asik/Parsons were cleaning up for him...Heck Asik was cleaning up for everyone, he out played Tyson Chandler in a big way.
Harden was basically floating down the lane at times, almost penetrating at will.
I think the whole team wanted to beat the Knicks, if that is so, it means the team is behind Lin, as in fully taken him in as one of their own. That's all good.
I esp loved the TD/Lin at end of 3RD...Great pass to TD from Lin for a 3ptr, that sent the message across, I bet TD felt real good about that shot :)
Overall a great game. Parsons on fire omg, Harden and Asik was incredible, and Lin played really great tonight as well, heck even Patterson did good...Everyone else did relatively good as well.
I am more pleased with the Rockets W-I-N-N-I-N-G this game compared to Lin having scored 25 points and having 10 assists. That may sound crazy to some of you, but win demands more honor than stats. PERIOD.ReplyDeleteReplies
especially because Rockets is a young team. I didnt watch the the first three quarters but i saw in the knicks forum that defense focused on Lin and forgot about harden. So harden was able to penetrate and got those many free throws. And lin even with the defense on him still shot 50 percent. the world is a weird place.Delete
- AnonymousNovember 23, 2012 at 7:42 PM
Game in NYC will be awesome. Jeremy can work on his shot and then return and start draining jumpers in MSG. I was talking to some Knicks fans during Thanksgiving and they were so mad/upset that Jeremy was no longer a Knick. Everyone wanted to see it play out. Even though the Knicks are winning, the FANS are simply not having as much fun.ReplyDeleteReplies
Really? According to the media Lin is viewed as a traitor to all of Knick's fans...Delete
Yes I know better than to believe the media...Just sayin :)
Knicks fans are bored dispite the Knicks success. Its just not the same without Lin.Delete
JLin still has a strong and loyal fanbase in NY. Believe me - the speactators at MSG are going to cheer for JLin. It will be fun to watch.
The media is divided into pro-Lin and anti-Lin groups.Delete
I think it's worth noting that Felton had 0 rebounds to Lin's 7 rebounds.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree. Other than the fantastic shooting efficiency (the Rockets had 56% 3P%!), the Rockets absolutely killed the Knicks on the boards - 49 vs 30. That's 19 more possessions!Delete
Nemo, are you schizo, bi-polar, or suffer from some type of autism? Even from your videos you sound less than normal lol.ReplyDelete
Heard the great news that Rockets beats Knicks big time, cheers! I am one kind of fan of Jeremy Lin. When you guys say he didn't play well, I don't watch the game (reply), when you guys say he plays great, I will watch the game, so I am always a winner.ReplyDelete
thank you for actually showing up tonight, lin. foulke felton and smith.ReplyDelete
now, someone with some editing skills actually make a video comparing his jumpshots between seasons. thanks.
Just some random thoughts....ReplyDelete
Lin still need to play within himself. His game is gradually coming to him. No need to be pressing or forcing shots, esp when his team has a big lead. Two avoidable TOs today. This game might be the turning point. Hitting that 3 pointer is a big confidence booster.
Very happy for Lin. Kinda of odd cheering for Lin from NYC area.Replies
Tyson chandler's no-look elbow on Asik s/h/been type 2 flagrant. It's very dangerous; it c/h/been in the eye for all he knew.Delete
But in a way glad it was called flagrant 1, because I don't want the Nits to say that was the reason for their loss.
Finally, Rockets' 3's were going in tonight! And the Nits' 3's were contested more.... yeah.
- AnonymousNovember 23, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Happy that houston get this one! Not like that Knicks is the main target team to beat but knowing that many noise waiting to get out there n knowing some Knicks players like carm_lo n jr smith would love to beating down the rockets mostly Lin, I am so glad they get this one with near 30 pts! Wow..seriously the Knicks start strong. At first I was worry. I can't believe Carmelo get 7 turnoversReplyDeleteReplies
Didn't buy Carm's huggie higgies Lin.... oh brother!Delete
At least I give Carm and his agent the credit for kicking Lin out by barking loud: Otherwise, Lin would have naively given the Nits a major discount before the free agency; and then Lin would have been promptly traded!!! No waiting period to trade Lin then.... If they had matched, then Lin would have been trade next Summer, after toiling as a backup.
Even if the Rockets trade Lin, he is FAR BETTER OFF.
Actually, Lin and the Knicks had an understanding after the Bird rights hearing that Lin would pursue a contract on the market.
The only known negative comment from Anthony was the "ridiculous" one when a reporter asked him about the 25/3 offer. Nothing before that. In fact, before free agency, Anthony was part of Woodson's 'recruiting' dinner with Lin. Lin has maintained that his personal experience with Anthony was Anthony was a good, helpful teammate.
The Knicks played badly, but watching Harden and Parsons's roles firming up as the team's 1 and 2, and projecting what Lin could do in Felton's PG role, there are still thoughts of what might have been.
YES! Winning as a team is more important than as an individual. Happy for them!ReplyDelete
Lin can only get better from here on now, together with his young teammates. On the other hand, Carmelo perhaps realizes one more time that, even he himself is playing well, he can't go far with the current Knicks team comprises of slow back court and non-existing rebounding.ReplyDeleteReplies
I said this before that, while the Nits are better team this season (in my opinion, on paper 25-35% upgrade overall; enough to make 4th or 5th in EC - on paper), their first 6 wins to start was a fool's gold (a hype) because they played either poor teams or 76er (2x) without their 2 big stars.Delete
Wait..... I know some will nit pick this. They also played the Heat in their first game, but due to the Superstorm Sandy, the Heat felt that the game should even be played. Wade donated his day's paycheck to the relief efforts and the Nits gave a heartfelt speech to the fans for coming out to see them play.Delete
That was brilliant. What a difference >50% shooting makes, huh? I came down to HTown this weekend and had the pleasure of being there tonight; here are some random tidbits maybe one or two of you may find interesting.ReplyDelete
After missing his final 3 in a row, JLin shot 9-18 from beyond the arc... during warmups. He can't make one from the right corner; this had better change if he's gonna be camping there (kidding!).
Pregame pleasantries: a particuarly long embrace from Melo. Boy I wish I knew what he said. Lin made his way to the Knicks bench and hugged/fist bumped quite a few coaches/assts/players.
Postgame pleasantries: Novak goes over and is the first to greet Lin. Melo is second, again with a prolonged embrace and words.
Lin is not afraid to bark at the ref saying he was fouled. Good on him.
Clearly CParsons is Lin's best friend on the Rockets. They gravitate towards each other during warmups and at halftime. There was a little trivia blurb on the center screen... "Who calls him (Parsons) the most:". Lin.
I think there is nothing but goodwill between Lin and TD. When TD made his 3 (Lin asst), Lin gave a fist pump such that you'd think he was Tiger who just rolled in a 30 footer. When they were going back to the bench Lin ran to TD and put his arm around TD's neck. Nice.
Lin played so well tonight; I'm so happy for him to get over this meeting (I know he said it was "just another game" but unless you're a robot I don't see how you could just treat it as such). People around me probably thought I was a bit crazy for yelling a little more than I probably should have when he (finally!) made his three, but I know you guys understand.
I've been a huge fan of CParsons, and while I came down hoping to witness another Rocket have a breakout game, it was magnificent to watch. CP is the best deal in the NBA, the guy makes under $900K a year but works his tail off every night.
Harden was awesome. We sat along the baseline, his eurostep is so smooth, you get a different appreciation for it from that perspective. 16/16 from the line is Nowitzki like. Both he and Lin had so much production from the line last year; it seems to me the refs are letting them play so far this year (to me at least they've been consistent). Harden got pretty much every call tonight, though :).
I was freaked out when I saw Morris go down. I'll watch the game tomorrow on LP to see where the camera was focused, but I couldn't take my eyes off him, he just lay there. The replay they showed us just showed him running back, bring a hand to his head and then down he goes. I'm glad he's ok.
Asik was 6-11, but honestly who doesn't think he should be like 10-11? At least this is something he can work on.
This is such a fun team to watch. We absolutely mauled the team with the best record in the league, and we almost beat the best team in the league. There's definitely potential, it may require some patience, but I think Jeremy Lin and the Rockets are going to be all right.

By bidding in this AUCTION you acknowledge that you, Buyer (or Bidder, or winning Bidder, or Purchaser, each of which four terms may be used interchangeably), hereby agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this AUCTION as described or any lot listing and these WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. These terms and conditions and the information contained in any lot listing constitute the entire agreement between Buyer and WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION (WJA). These terms and conditions and the information contained in any listing may only be changed by WJA. By participating in this AUCTION , Buyer acknowledges that Buyer is bound by these terms and conditions and the information contained in any listing. WJA, WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION or any pronoun referring to it also refers to WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION House, WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION representatives, officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, employees, consultants or affiliates. In the event of a conflict between these WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the contents of any listing, any invoice, or any AUCTION Venue General Terms and Conditions, these General Terms and Conditions shall supersede and govern.
WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION believes to the best of its knowledge that the information presented in any listing has come from reliable sources. Such information is presented solely for the convenience of the Purchaser. WJA makes no warranties of any kind related to the information presented in any listing. WJA further makes no warranties, either express or implied, relating to the value, marketability or condition of the lot described in any listing. Prospective bidders should investigate a lot thoroughly before bidding. By bidding the Bidder acknowledges that Bidder has investigated the lot to his or her satisfaction, or, that Bidder has chosen not to do so, and agrees to accept the lot being bid on with no objections after the sale closes. If you are uncertain please contact us with your questions prior to bidding. If you are still uncertain after we reply, please refrain from bidding. Photos other graphic material contained in any listing of generic or duplicate lots may be stock presentations and not necessarily of the specific lot.
A Buyer's premium amounting to 15% of the winning bid amount will be added to the purchase price of each lot.
High and low estimates are provided solely for comparison purposes and WJA makes no warranties of any kind relating to them.
Any appraisals or evaluations provided are solely for the convenience of the Bidder and WJA makes no warranties of any kind relating to them. Appraisals may include valuations which reflect the full, highest retail price of the item in a specific geographic region, the item's insurance replacement value, or both. No price estimate or appraisal value should be considered to represent the investment or resale value of the item. Such values are to be solely based on the due diligence evaluation of the Bidder absent any estimate or appraisal value presented.
In the event that an item is listed as having an "Appraisal Estimate", this represents WJA's in-house estimate of what the item would appraise for. Actual appraisal of the item is the responsibility of the Bidder.
Unless the AUCTION of a lot is announced as absolute, WJA reserves the right to accept or reject any bid for any reason whatsoever, at any time before, during or subsequent to any AUCTION . Any and all bids made by a Bidder constitute irrevocable offers to purchase the lot at the maximum bid amount of the Bidder and may not be withdrawn by the Bidder under any circumstances. At the close and reconciliation of the AUCTION , WJA shall determine the actual winning Bidder of each lot and may, in its sole discretion, reflect as sold to any lower Bidder any duplicate item that may be available at the Bidder's maximum bid on the lot. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on WJA part as to the validity of any bid, WJA will have the exclusive final discretion to determine the successful Bidder, cancel the sale, award the lot to the next highest Bidder or Bidders or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute and WJA is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection therewith. Unless a sale is announced as being "without reserve," WJA reserves the right to protect any reserve price by placing and advancing floor bids up to the amount of the reserve. WJA may also place bids on behalf of any buyer or seller, bid for its own account or remove any lot from sale without notice at any time. Any bid entered by a Bidder shall be determined in the sole discretion of WJA to have exceeded or not to have exceeded any reserve. In consideration of WJA's approval of the application of the Bidder to bid in WJA's AUCTION , Bidder agrees to comply with and be specifically bound by the provisions of this paragraph.
Payment of the winning bid amount, buyer's premium and shipping/handling charges will be made at the time the AUCTION is reconciled and invoiced (email) by WJA, using the credit card on file for the Bidder. In the event that no credit card is on file, the Bidder will be directed to WJA's credit card payment website and also provided with instructions for payment by wire, cashier's check or money order. All credit card payments are due at the time the AUCTION is invoiced by WJA. All other payments are required to be received by the 4th day's mail delivery following the invoice being sent by email. In consideration of WJA's approval of the application of the Bidder to bid in WJA's AUCTION , Bidder hereby authorizes HSJ USA, Inc. to charge the credit card currently or previously on file provided by Bidder as specified herein. A $50 handling fee will be assessed for each declined credit card transaction and Bidder agrees to such charge. Requests for other payment arrangements will only be considered prior to the opening of bidding in any AUCTION .
We provide handling, packing and shipping services solely as a convenience for our Bidders. Because Bidders most often opt for these services, we include an ESTIMATED AMOUNT in the AUCTION invoice.
We ship primarily by USPS priority mail within a commercially reasonable time following credit of the Bidders payment to our account. On average, a Bidder may expect to receive their items within 4 weeks following their payment. The actual cost of shipping, insurance, registry and confirmation services is charged to the Bidder, as well as a packing/handling fee not to exceed $3 per item, to defray the cost of labor involved. Large, heavy, fragile or otherwise unusual items will incur additional charges. Under special circumstances, WJA may ship items using USPS Express Mail, private carriers or pack and ship enterprises, the cost of which shall be charged to the Bidder. WJA will not entertain shipment using lower classes of mail due to the increased risk of loss. Requests earlier shipment or special handling may be accommodated on a limited basis at WJA's sole discretion and may incur additional handling charges. All costs charged to a Bidder's original invoice are estimates and WJA reserves the right to charge additional amounts if such estimates are exceeded and Bidder hereby agrees to such additional amounts. WJA may, at its sole discretion, combine the shipment of items from multiple AUCTION s over a 7-day period to reduce shipping costs.
All US domestic shipments are insured at the total bid amount contained in the shipment (other add-on charges are not covered by insurance). The estimated cost of insurance is included in the Bidder's invoice.
Shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, US Territories and Foreign Countries – Shipping and handling charges to these locations are higher and often require registry or express mail. Insurance coverage to foreign locations may also be limited by the shipping carriers. WJA will ship items to foreign locations using the same classes of mail and additional postal services that it uses to ship to US locations, to the extent that such services are available, and, insurance coverage may be limited or unavailable. IT IS THE FOREIGN BIDDER'S OBLIGATION TO BE AWARE OF AND INSTRUCT SA REGARDING ANY ALTERNATIVE SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS WHICH MAY BE DESIRED TO INCREASE INSURANCE COVERAGE. WJA will not be liable for any shortfall of insurance either on foreign shipments or on the non-coverage of additional invoice charges exceeding bid amounts.
Foreign Bidders are solely responsible for the compliance with all export and import requirements of the items they purchase, both out of the US and into their country of delivery. To the extent that WJA is required to assist foreign Bidders in these matters, the labor cost incurred in by WJA will be billed at $30 per hour.
Storage fees of $5 per day per item will apply to all items held for any Bidder after the normal shipment date due to circumstances existing at the Bidder's delivery location.
Our responsibility for damage to or loss of any lot ends once it has been turned over to the USPS, or other shipping enterprise for delivery and/or packing. By bidding, the winning Bidder agrees that any and all claims for loss or damage to the lot will be handled solely through the insurance claims process or the carrier and acknowledges that insurance may be subject to deductibles or other limitations which are not the responsibility of WJA.
No items will be shipped to any Bidder for any particular AUCTION until all charges for the AUCTION have been paid in full and all funds have cleared. Even if paid in full, no items will be shipped to any Bidder for any particular AUCTION if the Bidder has any balances with WJA from other AUCTION s which are not in compliance with the provisions of PAYMENT above, until such balances are paid in full and all funds have cleared. WJA may, at its sole discretion, require any Bidder to return a signed sales receipt prior to shipping.
The Bidder is a Non-Paying Bidder (NPB) if the Bidder has not met the requirements of PAYMENT above. Storage fees of $5per day will apply to items which remain unpaid beginning on the normal shipment date. A service charge of 2% per month shall apply to all balances owed by a NPB beginning after the date such NPB's payments were due under PAYMENT above. Anytime following 30 days after sale, WJA, at its sole option, may convert the unpaid transaction with the NPB to an authorized return and instead bill the NPB the specified restocking fee. Any such restocking fee will then, itself become fully collectible from the Bidder under all of the relevant provisions of these General Terms and Conditions. Payment of any restocking fee does not give the NPB the right to receive AUCTION items.
All sales are final, no lots are sold on approval; placing a bid is a legally binding obligation. There are no returns or exchanges. All lots are sold as is, where is, with all the faults, imperfections, omissions and errors in the written description, estimates, appraisals, graphics and photography. WJA is not responsible for any errors or omissions in the description, graphics or photography provided or in the bidding software. Due diligence to verify the condition and description of a lot is the sole responsibility of the Bidder prior to placing any bid. Returns may only be made with the advance written authorization of WJA and are in WJA's sole discretion to approve. To request a return you must provide a written request fully explaining the basis for the return no later than 4 days after your receipt of the lot. Under no circumstances will any amounts other than the winning bid amount be refunded. A restocking charge of 20% of the full invoice amount may apply in WJA 's sole discretion. Any allowed returns must be received in exactly the same condition as when originally shipped to Buyer, or they will be returned to buyer at Buyer's cost. Any unauthorized returns will be refused. DELIVERY REFUSAL OF ITEMS SHIPPED BY WORLD JEWELRY AUCTION TO THE BIDDER CONSTITUTES AN UNAUTHORIZED RETURN IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
If any dispute occurs between Buyer and WJA that cannot be resolved, then the parties agree to the rules, regulations and procedures of the dispute resolution described herein and agree to the following procedures for resolution of the dispute: If either party alleges that the other party is in default under this agreement, then the dispute or allegation shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the State of California. WJA shall select a neutral arbitrator. The arbitration process shall be initiated by either party requesting arbitration which must be served upon the other party by certified mail. Failure to participate in the arbitration is a default. Each party shall simply present their case (limited to a maximum of one hour for each party) to the arbitrator. The parties agree and acknowledge that they are completely waiving their rights to have the dispute heard in a court of law. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have complete jurisdiction over the dispute and can issue an award to the prevailing party. Arbitration fees shall be paid by the party not prevailing in the dispute or as seen fit by the arbitrator. Any award determined by the arbitrator shall be binding and the prevailing party shall be awarded full reimbursement of its actual paid fees in connection with the dispute.
By signing up to participate in a WJA AUCTION , Bidder specifically agrees to the dispute resolution specified in the foregoing paragraph as Bidder's SOLE means to resolve any and all disputes which may arise with WJA. By doing so Bidder specifically agrees that Bidder will not file a dispute of any kind with an online venue, a credit card, or any other third parties. Bidder specifically waives the right to initiating a credit card chargeback dispute on any basis of claim and agrees that Bidder will pay WJA a minimum of $300 plus hourly charges and costs for any such chargeback dispute opened, due to the severe administrative burden of such disputes and their direct violation of the dispute provisions above. In the event that Bidder violates this dispute resolution provisions, in consideration of WJA's approval of the application of the Bidder to bid in WJA's AUCTION , Bidder confesses judgment to fraud having been committed by Bidder against WJA and further agrees that Bidder is liable to WJA for all damages, losses and costs, including time charges, resulting.
In no event shall WJA 's liability for any breach, or act or omission exceed the purchase price actually paid by the Buyer, and in no event shall WJA have any liability under any circumstances for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including for loss of profits or revenue, costs of obtaining alternative property, claims of customers of Buyer or otherwise), whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of, resulting from or in any way relating to the lot or its purchase, sale, delivery or non-delivery, or the acts or omissions of WJA or WJA 's agents, representatives, officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, employees, consultants or affiliates.
Bidder's bid at all times represents an irrevocable offer by Bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable, even if a higher bid was received by WJA. In the event that any reserve price of a lot is not exceeded by any Bidder's bid WJA, in its sole discretion, with or without the knowledge of or notice to any Bidder, may reduce any reserve price to an amount below the bid of Bidder at any time during an AUCTION and accept the bid made by Bidder. Reserve prices are always the confidential information of WJA and are not disclosed to Bidder's unless specifically stated as such during bidding. Nothing contained in any listing shall be construed to disclose any reserve price. In the placing of any bid the Bidder understands and agrees that the bid placed, once accepted by WJA, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder and if any reserve or reduced reserve on the lot is exceeded. All bids are binding, irrevocable and non-cancelable by Bidder.
There are no provisions for the placing of bids to "mark the lot" or to "test the system", etc. and any requests to cancel bids on these bases, or due to a Bidder not reading a listing, not being familiar with the bidding platform, not doing proper due diligence or failing to maintain proper control over Bidder's bidding terminal, bidding by mistake and the like will be denied. Such requests to cancel bids are null and void and will not excuse Bidder from Bidder's legal and contractual obligation to complete a transaction.
If you are the successful Bidder, you agree to pay the amount of your bid plus all applicable taxes and charges in the time and manner designated by the WJA. Failure to make such payment shall be deemed to be a breach of these general terms and conditions, and, in addition to all other rights and remedies WJA may have under applicable law, you will be charged a re-stocking fee on transactions equal to (a) 15% of the amount of your invoice, plus $30; or (b) the cost associated with re-marketing and re-selling the lot, whichever is greater. Bidder is responsible for any and all costs associated with collection of amounts owing from the Bidder, until collected; and WJA reserves the right to bill and collect any such costs from Bidder. Costs associated with collection may include, but are not limited to, time charges, incidental expenses, attorney fees and costs associated with the use of a collection agency. And, WJA may direct the Bidder to pay any third-party collection assistance directly for their services.
The winning Bidder's failure to complete the purchase in accordance with the terms provided herein and in the listing will cause the Bidder to be faced with all, or any combination of the following measures: elimination of all future bidding privileges on the hosting site; credit agency reporting; legal and/or collection action.
These terms and conditions and each listing contain all of the provisions applicable to the agreement between WJA as seller and each Bidder. The provisions of these terms and conditions and of each listing supersede all other agreements, representations or understandings, whether prior or contemporaneous, oral or written, between the parties concerning that subject matter. These terms and conditions and provisions of each listing shall be binding on Buyer's heirs, beneficiaries, executors, successors and assigns.
If any provision of these terms and conditions or of any listing be void, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent possible to comply with applicable law, or if modification is not possible, deleted and severed from the remaining provisions. Any such modification, deletion or severing shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any of the remaining provisions.
Any assignment without WJA 's written authorization will be void.
These terms and conditions, the contents of any listing and the contractual relationship between WJA and any Buyer shall be interpreted under and governed by the laws of the State of California
