Question about auctions

[Anthony S.]

I've registered with REA, Goodwin, Huggins & Scott, Hunt, Brooklyn Barry Sloate (hmm, I like the ring of that), Brockelman-Luckey, and 19th Century. Haven't registered with SCP (no particular reason, just haven't as of yet), so I'm not familiar with their registration process.

I haven't had any problem registering using 1) my eBay feedback primarily and 2) 1 or 2 people I've purchased from. I don't think the 3 auctions houses I registered with even called my references; they just reviewed my feedback.

You can always connect me to my Brooklyn roots.

Check the list of people you've bought from on eBay. I wouldn't be surprised if it includes a couple of well known dealers who would be acceptable. I once used for auction house reference a well known eBay seller. If the referenced seller is reputable, well known within the hobby and would vouch that you paid for your winnings, that's pretty much what the auction houses are looking for.

I responded to Mastro's Net 54 thread a few years ago that offered free registration to members and was allowed to use my ebay accounts. For the next auction registration I used Mastro and one ebay account. It was easy after that, I could use the last two auctions I bid in.
