+1 just one lot for me, but it's my first consignment ever.

But I'll probably still be the one writing a check.

I signed up and got the Spring one... Do you know if I have to sign up again or do they just send the next one out?

John, you signed up as in registered for bidding? Or signed up to get a catalog?

I'd call them in the morning to be sure, but I think if you ask for a catalog, it's a one time thing. If you register, I think they will send them to you prior to the auction. I've read that if you have bid on items, they will continue sending them to you. Since I plan on bidding, and walking away with a card or two, I hope these wonderful catalogs will continue coming my way.

Please let us know what they tell you. I'd like to know definitively!

Thanks,

Bill

I've tried several times to request a catalog, but being from Canada there is no option for that. I have emailed a few times with no reply. Would love to see what everyone is gushing over!

Thanks for the info, Bill... and I'll let you know what happens... Cheers!

She loves that smell of ink on paper that you can only get from a good sized, well printed catalog. Can't really describe it any better than that. Having worked in the for profit sector the first 30 years of my career, I'd be around that smell all the time at press checks, etc. She was never around it until I started to get catalogs from REA and Goodwin. Now, sometimes when I get home, the catalog has already been taken from it's box or envelop, but not for the pretty pictures ... but for the smell.

She's even mentioned someone should capture that fragrance and name it "eau de Catalog", as she thinks a lot of men would want to be reminded of the day the catalog arrived, and some women wouldn't mind it either.

I have heard of (and participated in) smelling of cards but not the catalogs. I will have to try that. REA always has some good stuff. I am almost always more broke after their auctions too .

If you've recieved a catalog from REA in the past, do you keep getting them, or do you have to request one each time?

Man, you're missing out. Always enjoy the smell.
