Default What do consignors want from an auction house?

Posted By: David Vargha

I consider myself pretty Internet savvy, but 1,000-1,500 pages of REA or Mastro catalogue is much easier to browse in hard copy. Even on a high speed connection, opening up several hundred lots is a task. Oftentimes the websites aren't very easy to navigate to go back and forth between lots. In a catalogue I can also quickly rifle through the sections of little or no interest to me. Also, in hard copy format, I sometimes will spot things that I bid on that I didn't even know I had interest in until I saw them. Finally, I am unable to drag my desktop system into the bathroom during "reading time".
