The site could be better, but at least they now put out a printed catalog for their monthly auctions. I usually start there, dogear the lots of interest, then go to the website for additional descriptions and bidding. (No bidding from me this time around though).

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the internet pre-bid followed by live auction scenario. Probably because I once thought I had won a lot (not realizing it was a pre-bid followed by live auction the next day. The next evening, after the live auction I didn't know about, I was talking to another collector who happened to mention the same lot, and gave me a confused look when I said "Yeah, I won those for [some price much less than the final bid]. Periodic embarrassment like that keeps me humble. The other reason I don't like pre-bids is I've never actually won anything that way
