We received Mastro's e-mail blast and found the timing to be strange.
If we had important treasures we wanted to sell, this would not be the
time to sell them.
We agree with other consignors with regard to 45 day payment.
When we consign to REA we receive payment in what seems like 45 minutes.
Given the quality of the current Mastro Auction, the state of the economy,
the drop in demand for many baseball items and the cloud hanging over
many dealers (FBI) the interest on the 45 day hold would be a good source
of income
Of course 1% for 45 days hardly covers the cost of mailing a catalog.
