shipping costs vs internet
I can say that, personally, I put a bid in on a lot I wanted and convinced myself that I wasn't going to go any higher. I was outbid in a day or two, and wasn't really planning on going back to the website any time soon. However the catalog showed up and I flipped to the lot, walked to the computer, and upped my bid. So I guess the shipping was worth it!
There is just no good way to see everything on line...you're at the mercy of the search function. How do I know if I want it, if I haven't searched for it? For instance, I would never search for the old baseball toys, banks, advertising, etc...but when I see them, I show my wife and she says "those would look cool in your office!" My guess is that they make up for shipping on the excitement that the catalog brings. If they were just selling cards (Memory Lane, etc), they could get away with website only. But their stuff is just too diverse and too nice not to feature it in a sweet book! Take Care, Geno

Note to Scott
REA will ship you the catalog if you ask for it; I'm guessing that Rob is OK with shipping catalogs even to non-bidders as a "good-will" gesture to keep him name around your house in case you ever come up with the find of a lifetime.
A small investment of what the book costs to produce plus shipping tends to pay off in a big way. Rich Last edited by Rich Klein; 04-22-2012 at 07:07 PM.

Skelly,
You're not alone. I live less than 15 minutes from REA and have not received the catalog yet this year. Hopefully we'll get it tomorrow. dj

Got mine
Mine arrived over a week ago. Maybe I got an early copy because I am a consignor this year. I live in Jersey as well.

I received two... I forgot to update my address before the auction, and the first was sent to my old house.
I put in the change of address, and requested a new one at 5pm - had it the next afternoon.
