Default Auction House Competition...

Posted By: Mike

This may be a statement of the obvious but why does Mastro's choose to run their big auction to run during REA's once a year auction?

Is this friendly competition or are they trying to undercut a competitor by siphoning off collector dollars?

If Robert Edwards only goes once a year and gives plenty of notice, it just seems odd to me that Mastro's would decide to run at the exact same time.

Maybe there is some history here that I am not aware of?

Perhaps it has to do with it being close to tax-refund season. If this is when people have extra income to spend, then it explains why there would be multiple auctions scheduled now.

Default Auction House Competition...

Posted By: Rob D.

The following are dates listed for Mastro auctions in 2008 (posted on its Web site). These are a mix of premier, live and the smaller "Classic" auctions. My guess is that because they schedule this many auctions in a calendar year -- coupled with an attitude of "We're not going to change our date, let them change" that both auction houses likely have -- I think you'll always see an overlap.

Feb. 27-28

April 14-May 1

June 25-26

July 21-Aug. 1

Aug. 11-28

Aug. 11-30

Oct. 29-30

Dec. 1-18

There is definitely some serious competition between them...and I've got to follow them both. How do you think I feel? The competition in the auction business is fierce.

Barry -
The auction competition business might be fierce but your's has it's own qualities
that in my opinion make it just as good. No offense to Mastro & REA, they both run
quality auctions, but I'd much rather deal with you on a personal level.

Tony

Barry is like the neighborhood hardware store. Excellent products with great, personal service. But it's hard to compete with Home Depot & Lowes. So please support Barry !!!

I appreciate everyone's support but I am a niche auction and to see what these two behemoths have, well it can be tough.

A number of people have asked me for a preview and I'm not sure somebody else's thread is the right place, but perhaps later today I'll start one. I don't go up for bidding until April 24 so it's still early.
