Thanks,

Buyer premiums do come with the territory of non-ebay auction sites (with only one exception I know of). You just have to account for it in your bidding. If you bid 100 on a card remember that you are actually bidding 118.50 and do so accordingly. I think this allows the cosigner to be told they get 100% of the bids, when in reality there is an amount the cosigner isn't getting and it is going straight to the auction house.

REA's auction ad on this site is the best looking banner ad I've seen.

Found my mailbox laying in the yard
 
when I got home over lunch. Sheer weight of the catalog was too much for it.

Wonder if the mail carrier had more than one of these catalogs on his route, as I also saw he had four flats on his little jeep about a block away.

ErikV 04-08-2014 04:22 PM

Re: Robert Edward Auctions!
 
Catalog finally arrived today (next door to Pasadena, CA),
a full ten days after the first person received their catalog
and started this thread!

My catalog arrived Sat @ precisely 3:04:17 PM on my side door stoop. Sorry I am so tardy in reporting!:rolleyes:

Kawika 04-08-2014 05:27 PM

One very heavy catalog arrived today in Victoria, British Columbia.
Nine bids down on the first day, still ahead on seven. There will be blood.

shernan30 04-08-2014 05:34 PM

Catalog arrived today. I will have something to do at work the rest of the week!!

Got mine today! :D

MyGuyTy 04-08-2014 06:11 PM

Still nothing :(

I guess that's what happens when you live on the opposite coast of New Jersey ;)

Koufax32fan 04-08-2014 08:50 PM

I still have not received mine either - in St. Louis. Even the pony express was faster.....

Got my catalogue today. That is one heavy sucker! Quality catalogue. REA obviously can't be hurting ... :rolleyes:

atx840 04-08-2014 09:07 PM

Delivered to the igloo on Monday.

Catalog showed up yesterday, magnet did not :)

ZachS 04-09-2014 06:26 AM

Somehow I ended up getting 2 catalogs yesterday. :confused:

jcmtiger 04-09-2014 07:07 AM

I consigned some items, but no catallog arrived.:confused:

markf31 04-09-2014 07:23 AM

I haven't received mine either. While I'm not a consignor, I did have a couple successful bids last year. Thought maybe this year I would receive it early, as opposed to later than more like the previous years.

CamaroCPA 04-09-2014 08:24 AM

I got one earlier in the week.

I have had flashbacks to reading the Sears catalog as a kid and circling all the toys I wanted.

I'm afraid most of the items in the REA catalog are as far (or farther) out of my reach today as those toys were when I was 7!

Still fun to dream and drool and, yes, smell.

SmokyBurgess 04-09-2014 02:29 PM

sans catalog
 
CNN is reporting my REA catalog is being held hostage by the Russians in eastern Ukraine.

I knew it......Putin has a little extra jing in his pocket lately so I'm thinking he'll be big time player in some of these auctions ;)

Magnet? What magnet?

We're supposed to get a magnet? :(

atx840 04-09-2014 03:59 PM

Since we don't use fridges in Canada, I will offer up my magnet to whomever wants it.

This is true. We just keep our perishables in the snow bank outside the kitchen window. :D

kdixon 04-09-2014 04:18 PM

Still no catalog in Missouri. I live near St Joseph so maybe its coming on the Pony Express...

the 'stache 04-09-2014 04:53 PM

I feel bad. Kenny hasn't gotten his catalog yet, but I just got a second one in the mail today.

Maybe you could send Kenny your extra catalog? Or maybe he could come stay with you until the auction ends?

Or better yet, just place the bids and buy whatever Kenny wants ;)




........is that ok with you Kenny? :)

kdixon 04-09-2014 08:23 PM

That works for me. Thanks.

If anyone on Net54 did not receive a magnet and would like one, please write us (at info@robertedwardauctions.com) with your address and we’ll be happy to send you one.

Sincerely,

Great gesture, thanks Rob :)

I find it so funny that all of you guys are upset about missing magnets and not one person has mentioned the groundbreaking way Rob and REA sent out catalogs this year. I mean really what other auction house has sent out catalogs like this? Satin finished gold iPads preloaded with the catalog and $1000 off "any" sale coupon. All presented in a beautiful black lacquer presentation keepsake box.

After all this and you guys still have the nerve to bust his chops about a freaking magnet….unreal you all should be ashamed.

Presentation box? Where's mine?

John- I think there are various boxes depending on your typical spending level. Maybe someday you'll get the catalog in one of these, like I did. ;)

Obviously I am not spending enough. :confused:

MyGuyTy 04-09-2014 10:43 PM

Hey I'm not complaining at all, just got clarification from Rob as to why my catalog is late this year, turns out I'm one of the select few who is having Chuck Norris personally deliver the catalog to my doorstep.....this ensures safe delivery and without the possibility of it being stolen from my front porch ;)

.......yes you heard right, Chuck will stay with the package until I arrive home and take delivery. What I'm thinking is this a trial run for this year with the possibility of it being the standard delivery method going forward if deemed successful.....

Complaining? Hell, I love the REA catalog. I was just bummed out that I didn't get the magnet...was kinda looking forward to it when a few guys mentioned we were getting one this year. I don't see anything wrong with guys saying they got one or not...some guys got two! :eek:

No reason to be ashamed either as no one seems to be damning REA over this ordeal.

Mike, do you understand sarcasm or humor by chance? Just wondering? :)

Rich Klein 04-10-2014 04:08 AM

rob emailed me, magnet on way --- I appreciate that -- but the wish book is always the real prize.

Not a scientific poll, but magnets may only be going out to those who secretly buy Miley Cyrus C.D.'s.

BlueSky 04-10-2014 07:49 AM

I finally got my satin finished gold iPad, I love the new REA app. It ties my bids directly to my bank account and even automatically increases my line of credit with my bank to ensure a win every time. What a great app. Click it and Forget it. I do not have to lose sleep over whether I put a high bid in or not. I hope they have this idea patented.

I hear that they are working with Amazon on some type of drone delivery service of catalogs directly to your door for their next auction.

What next a holodeck virtual presence system where I can check out items before I bid?

;););)

Still waiting to smell the catalog.

I got a magnet, but I didn't buy the Miley Cyrus CD secretly. Why would I keep it a secret? I always am first in line when those sweet sounds of angelic tunes are released to us poor saps just longing for a reason to be happy that we have the gift of hearing after a long day of coworker complaints and sounds of traffic.
