leonBrad- we will get that fixed soon. Our web person is out of commission for the next day or so..I am sure we will get it fixed in the next week. Sorry for the issue.
Corey- Scott and I argued the catalog issue more than any other thing we talked about. In the end we feel a catalog IS probably needed for a larger auction and not so much for a smaller one. We don't expect to have more than 100-200 lots in the first auction...but we hope to grow to where one does make more fiscal sense. And we do undertsand what you are saying about penny wise and pound foolish. I know there will be some rare and high quality items, as well as more moderate ones, in the first auction so hopefully not having a print catalog won't hurt too much and the items and email lists and advertising will work. I have spoken to at least one small auction house in the last few days that has done both print and non-print auctions. He has 75-100 lot auctions and from his experience of about 15 auctions, with and without print, he said he did about the same. Also, I think Scott mentioned the downloadable pdf we will have will be the same as a print catalog would be. I am not sure that is the case as it could only be a skeleton. I need to get clarification on that item...but again, we won't have some changes or answers for a few days...regards
