I can now tell my wife that I am not the only one who keeps their auction catalogs in this spot.

I liked the idea H&S had a while back, that if you opted out of receiving the catalog, you got some sort of small discount on each purchase ($10?). I haven't seen that advertised by them (or anyone else) any longer; I thought it might be a good way to cut down on some printing and mailing costs.

I would gladly accept a discount of 1-2% on buyer's premiums to not receive a catalog. If auction houses put a cap on what that discount might be (say it maxes out at $20) to protect themselves against that discount on major purchases, they could save a bunch of money.

What say you, auction houses?

I was thinking : Dougie could probably use some reading material in the slammer.How about anyone with old Legendary Auction catalogs sending them to him ?

I love the catalogs. Something about getting them and opening them up when you have a good chunk of time to look them over. The smell...especially REA... And the photos and the descriptions. And I am under 40 and these catalogs are much more interested in the catalogs than the online sites. I decide to bid based on the catalogs. And I am probably in the minority

Hello there. You can still opt to "go green" by visiting our website at www.hugginsandscott.com

Thanks!

And, they serve a useful function should you run out of TP.

I keep them, and look through them often.

I don't think the modern catalogs would work very well, but the old Kip Young's probably would!
