Scott- I actually share your opinion, and I've often thought "what if I do away with the printed catalog and just do a website?" But I do fear some people will miss the auction entirely. Nevertheless, when I sell on ebay, everybody sees it. I'm sure you are amazed at the endless number of new bidders you find online. However, ebay in its current state is a flawed product that carries a lot of extra baggage.

I'm often asked which system gets higher prices, ebay or a catalog auction? And the truth is they both work, and on any given lot I could get an amazing price either way, but who can predict ahead of time which one it is?
