'tis nice indeed. I'm still waiting on my Spring catalog, but maybe 7 years from now I will get them all in one bunch.

I received all these catalogs on Friday, but the newest Spring one was not included. I don't believe they are done putting it together yet.

They are great people at REA. Just don't throw your back out trying to carry around those 7 monsters all at once.

Just curious what years they sent you--a couple years ago I emailed rob asking for a few older ones I didnt have to fill the holes in my run and he told me they didnt have any more of them; finding it somewhat odd that a couple years later they now have some, and I spend a lot of $$ with them!!

I believe it was 07-13 they sent.

Thanks dustin; if you can just verify that 2007 was definitely one of the ones you received that would be great; I specifically asked rob for that one over two years ago and he said they didnt have any more of them; maybe in the ensuing two years they found some....if thats the case, I am going to request one.

Trust me, having a commerical warehouse of endless boxes and skids of stuff, we find items we thought were long gone.

It's also possible that the printer found leftovers and sent them back to REA.

We actually only had one or two office copies (one of which was sent in the batch the OP received and may have turned up in the past two years), but I just found a 2007 catalog available on eBay, so I bought it and am having it sent directly to you.

We're always happy to send out our catalogs (and we appreciate everyone's enthusiasm about them!), but sometimes we just run out. We have some extra copies of 2010-2013 around the office if anyone is looking for them. If you'd like to receive a free copy of our fall auction catalog (this October), you can request one on our website and we'll happily send you one when it prints.

On the topic of the fall auction, we're accepting consignments for another two weeks if anyone is interested in discussing items with us. It's shaping up to be another great auction that we think everyone will enjoy (and the catalog should be great too!).

Thanks,

Brian

What's the old saying..."no good deed goes unpunished" I think were about to see that play out.

Nice.

Good topic for a thread: "Bad things auction houses have done to me that are semi-related to good things they have done for others."
