Totally anecdotal: For years I receieved Leland's auctions and sometimes placed bids in their auctions. Presumably not enough, though, because I stopped receiving their catalogs. I've not placed a bid in any of their auctions since I stopped receiving their catalogs, simply because their auctions ceased to be "top of mind" to me. The catalogs accomplished that. I know Leland's has their auctions online, and I see the reminders on this board, but not being able to sit down and browse through their offerings at my leisure -- away from a computer -- obviously has impacted me as a customer.

Sidebar: Anyone who thinks that consignment fees and buyer's penalties would be lowered if the catalogs were done away with is living in a dream world.
