There's a banner now at the top that refers to the new URL. I wouldn't have trusted the email without such a notice (or email) from the original domain.

Edit update: the banner is currently not visible on the "bid" subdomain, i.e., bid.robertedwardauctions.com pages, rather when you click Home and go to robertedwardauctions.com.

Reminds me.....

Any time you get an email from a business, or at least you think it's from said business, it's best not clicking links within the email but instead go to the company's website. So many scammers out here these days it's crazy!!

I got the same message yesterday morning. It began "Dear David", the layout, syntax and spelling were all perfect. But my mail program marked it as spam. And what the heck was an "onboarding process" I wondered. Seemed "phishy". Thought the scammers were just getting better at their tomfoolery. Went to the REA site; there was no banner or any mention of a new platform. I telephoned REA; the guy who answered didn't know if it was legit or not and didn't seem to give a hoot. Didn't see anything about it here on Net54. So I deleted the email. Turns out it's for real. Just another day on the internet.

Not very professional. 👎

Will all the historical auctions still be on the platform? I have several that I want to go through for research purposes and am worried that the history will be removed. Anyone know?

How soon before everything (or some things) migrate??

Due to the spam / phishing concerns previously mentioned, if I had been in charge of the unveiling of the new website, I would have had customers sign into the old site, and follow prompts to the new site, where I could then do the "onboarding" process.

But I wasn't in charge, and I too had concerns about phishing, but based on this thread I followed the link in the email and must admit that the process was simple.

I asked -- historical auctions, invoices, etc will be available on the new platform.

Yes and that is why I checked with the group here.
Not sure how I missed the banner except as mentioned above if it is only visible on the home page I might have missed it being in the sub pages

But regardless thanks everyone for looking after each other with this
