REA is open

I know I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but with a few exceptions (those yum yums ), I think the auction overall is actually quite weak by REA standards. Just feels to me like the auction doesn't have that WOW factor I expect from REA.

When they went to two auctions a year, makes it hard to be stellar...although for the most part they've still done that.

It looks like they have a Spring, Summer, and Fall now. I could probably find a few lots to bid on, maybe not win. Still fun.

Far from weak if you ask me!

Oh crap! I need to pay Sales Tax if I win anything from REA now. This would be a show stopper to me. Bye REA!

Well, I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but a resident of NY should've been paying "use tax" all along, not just now that REA collects it. And, yes, I agree that "use tax" sucks for buyers.

Use Tax - applies if you buy tangible personal property and services outside the state and use it within New York State. Clothing and footwear under $110 are exempt from New York City and NY State Sales Tax. Purchases above $110 are subject to a 4.5% NYC Sales Tax and a 4% NY State Sales Tax.

Got my initial bids in to. Looks like a couple big collections got consigned. Huggins and Scott opened up to, and they had some surprising good stuff as well.
