Auctions - How to get started?

[dlfallen]

I've been collecting for a few years now. My cards have been acquired from eBay, card shows, and other collectors including several BST transactions on this board.

I've been wanting to take a go on auctions, but have no experience with them other than eBay. I figured the Brockelman & Luckey auction would be a good place to start, but when I go to the registration page I am asked for three other auction references. This reminds me of when I was a teenager looking for my first job and everyone wanted job references . . .

I sent an email over a week ago using a link on the Brockelman & Luckey auction page but never got a response. I can't tell if the email link is broken, my inquiry was inadvertently overlooked, or if new bidders are discouraged.

Since the folks at Brockelman & Luckey have not responded to my inquiry, I was hoping someone here on the forum could point me in the right direction.

Also, is registering for other major auctions difficult or tricky?
