To me they are. I can go through them A LOT faster than on the internet.
"Also, in auctions are call backs still necessary with the way the bidding is done nowadays?"
Yes. If I'm not comfortable leaving a max bid (or even if I'm comfortable doing it but want to KNOW I've been topped before deciding not to raise my bid) and want to go to sleep before the auction ends, I can knowing that if I'm topped I'll be called.
