I have no problem telling people that we buy items to include in our own auction. I think it's smart to do it that way. To be honest, if we had to totally rely on consignment items for our auction, there is virtually no way to make enough money to recoup the costs of the catalog production, mailing, salaries, etc...

As for a "lay-away" policy, I guess it would have to be run on a case by case basis. So far, we haven't had anyone approach us with it, and I'm not too keen on the idea; but if it was a good customer, who we knew was good for the money, I'd consider it.

Just a different perspective on the topic.
