I don't recall ever looking at lots online or participating in online auctions except for ebay. I participate with Mastro, REA, Goodwin, Sports Cards Plus, Mile High, Memory Lane and Andy Madec. I also look at Barry's catalog and bid on an item or two but have not won anything. I couldn't tell you if any of these auction houses have their auctions online or not. Looking at catalogues is not the only thing I do I do use vintagecard pricing.com to figure out where I will bid.
Leon,
Excellent and thoughtful answer. Makes sense to me--I think you will be successful and I look forward to registering and hopefully figuring out how to look at an auction online. Agree that growing to where you can put out a catalog is smart.
If you start carrying higher grade material I think it increases the urgency of having a catalogue. The tech savvy people may be surprised but I would guess that the 50-and-over crowd(and there are a lot of big spenders here) would not look at online auctions.
Good luck!
Jim
