Do you need to get auction catalogs?

I believe that Huggins and Scott offers a discount if you choose not to get their catalog, I liked that idea and chose to opt out of receiving the catalog.

The one thing I don't really like is that I get catalogs and e-mails from auctions I've never even registered for.

Alan, you're exactly right - I found this on the H&S site:

Huggins and Scott is GOING GREEN!

In an effort to do our part in saving the environment and save money on printing and mailing costs, we are hoping to entice our customers to opt out of getting a printed catalog. We will not remove you from the mailing list if you do not want to be removed, however, in exchange for declining a printed catalog, we will give you a $10.00 credit off of each auction invoice. For each auction that you win at least one lot, we will automatically credit you $10.00 off of your bottom line amount owed to us. We will run five auctions in 2010 - each auction that you win at least one lot, we will issue you a $10.00 credit off of that invoice.

I'd take the $10 off an invoice to not get a catalog, save a tree, etc.

I didn't know about this offer from H&S, and wish more companies would offer a similar program....

I've got about a 7 year pile about 2 feet high and my office is moving in June. If anyone would like all of them, please pm me your UPS # and you can have them. Otherwise they are going in the trash.

I think Huggins & Scott opted me out of getting their catalogs...which I don't blame them for since I haven't bid in over a year in one of their auctions...I didn't even know about their last auction until someone here posted about it on the last day.
