Scott- With regard to whether people would prefer to speak to an auction house, or feel intimidated by it and prefer an online form, will vary with each person. Some consignors are outgoing and like to talk cards; others are shy or busy and would prefer not to have to deal with lots of telephone banter. So I don't think you can generalize, everybody is different.

Catalogs are great and collectors like to browse through them, but for someone like Scott that would be simply impossible. He can't produce one-two color catalogs a week, as he is strictly an ebay seller. His pictures are large and clear, and for three-dimensional items he provides multiple views. It's not a paper catalog, but ebay is a different animal.
