The American Space Museum and Space Walk of Fame is a gem of a museum located in Titusville, Florida. It is a must see side trip when you are going to the Kennedy Space Center. I hope that you find something to bid on in this auction. |

I placed three bids a few days before the auction started. Now when I go to my bid page, there is a statement that reads "You have no current bids." Even stranger; when I go to saved items, two of the items with my bids show up and display my max bids but there is verbiage that says the lot has passed even though the lots have not yet come up. Very puzzling. Now I have to watch 100+ lots to make sure I have a chance at the items I wanted. |

Yea, I was interested in two signed X-15 items, both within the first 14 lots, and was completely blown out of the water on each. I'm amazed at the prices they got! |

First auction with one win. I was wondering how long American Space Museum takes to send invoices. |

The museum relies on volunteers to help, however with the Covid situation, the museum is closed and so I am assuming, are only allowed so many people there at one time and this will most assuredly slow down invoicing and shipping. Please be patient and know that during normal operations, your invoice would have already been sent out. This is a crazy time and we all need to be understanding. |

The museum is still closed so we only have limited staff. The girls in the office (only two of them) are doing an amazing job so please be patient and rest assured your invoice will be on its way soon.UPDATE: So far we have sent out over 100 invoices out of 194 total, and we have already shipped 34 packages to people who have paid. |

We average 7-10 days to get all invoices out in most auctions as we charge actual shipping and insurance.That means we package the items, get exact shipping and insurance and then send out the invoice. Thank you for your patience and understanding. |
