Joe - I hear what you are saying; you are supposing that the catalog will bring in more bidders and higher prices and that will cover the cost of its creation. That's a compelling argument, but Scott and Leon have suggested that their clientele will be the same as it would be for a printed catalog auction. If that is the case, your supposition is incorrect, as the printing of the catalog would not bieng in any high prices and would therefore directly have to come from the profits. |

Well I said I was going to stay out of it but find it difficult when I get a direct question. We will eventually have 1 banner ad just like the other 12-14 advertisers...(as a favor we split one of the allotted times into 2).....but the answer is you won't see any more than any other advertiser....and yes, I would think the static banner at the top would be utilized some too as it is by others....I would hope the advertisers feel they are reaching the same clientele that was here before. We will be but one other banner ad....with the same frequency of being seen as the rest... |

If it costs $20,000 to produce catalogs and they bring an additional $10,000 would you do it??? Scott and Leon are well respected and have the correct venues to advertise. The prices realized will indicate the necessity of a catalog. |

If I am the consignor, I'd take a 50% sellers commission and a $10,000 sale price over a 0% sellers commission and a $4,000 sale price. I could care less if there is a catalog. |

I agree with the position that a catalogue is important if the size of auction merits it. I also think that great scans (and numerous pictures) of each card will certainly help, too. I thought that the size of scans in the Goodwin auction was impressive and very helpful. |

Sounds like a great thing from two well respected individuals. How about doing what the others don't and accept credit cards (with no additional fees). Make it easy on the buyer and don't pass the costs on to either party. Something all the auction companies need to do long term. A little consolidation in this industry also wouldn't hurt as there are way too many doing the same thing and turning nearly the same cards over and over. That too will certainly happen but I'm glad to see someone challenging the norm and wish you luck. |

I too wish you guys the best of luck and look forward to bidding and consigning in your auctions. I think you guys are the right men for the job. Will you be offering free grading services for you consigners like other larger auction houses? I also think a print version is a much needed tool. Maybe you can just print one smaller like Barry's or Lew's. How many lots pre auction are you guys shooting for? Anyways all the best and I look forward to signing up! |

Very good question, Yes, we will be offering free grading for consignors with raw cards, We will be using SGC as our preferred grader. |

competition is healthy and I think you two guys are pretty straight-up and should do well. Just for the record i thought i would add re: the banner ads that keep getting brought up. Truth is I NEVER have looked at the banner here or anywhere else. I think of it as a commercial and just avoid them. Only thing that can happen is another pop-up or email spam to follow..... Miopic perhaps - but if I have to know about something - I assume a banner ain't gonna do it...... Catalogs are comfortable for them what wuz born before or during the computer age. Nothing like picking up a catalog and holding it one's hands. I think the hard copy WOULD result in higher prices but think the boys are trying to balance the equation - so the burden/weighting of fees is apportioned differently - with the emphasis reducing the buyer's penalty and subsequently increasing consignor realizations. IMOH - I think 10% was already enough for ANY auction house. Increasingly punishing the buyers by raising the viggorish and making consignment fees lower skews things a bit for me in the wrong direction. Just a word from someone primarily a bidder..... |

Well I usually bid in all major auctions but I have never looked online for card descriptions. My printer does abouit 1 page every 5 minutes so that will be tough as well. Those who say a catalog does not matter are just not right. I travel a lot and always carefully read through catalogs on the plane. |

I understand your concerns with the catalogue, unfortunately it is just not feasible with the terms we are offering for buyers and sellers. However, I will in fact be happy to mail you a complete print out of the catalogue. Just email your address to either Leon or myself and you will get one within days of the auction starting. |

Jim's point about the significance of the BP is well-taken. However, I think subconciously a lower BP does tend to goose the prices up a bit. Just human nature, I suppose. |

More accurately, the less the auction house takes the more goes into the seller's pocket. Whether it's the buyer's premium or seller's fee really doesn't matter. |

In fact you are factoring in the buyers premium, you are not ignoring it. As you factor in a higher buyers premium you lower your bid accordingly, likewise as the bp is lower people will bid more. |
