For me personally, why would I want to flip through a 5 lb catalog and scratch down notes when I can sit at my computer, scan through the online catalog and place anything that piques my interest onto a wantlist with a click of a mouse?
Curt, very good analysis. Completely agree. One thing that always seemed odd in auction catalogs are, the notes page. Did anyone ever use those? I just dogged eared the page and then circled the lot I wanted to go for.
