Great news, Bobby. After the success of the first auction, I imagine you won't have trouble finding many willing consignors for the next auction!

Also, one of the real strengths of RR is how quickly they process invoices and prepare shipments once an auction is completed. Payment is almost always processed the very next day and the item is usually in hand within a week or so. Of course, it helps that RR does this every month... so it's a well-oiled machine by now!

By the way, this would be a good time to send in consignments for our regular monthly Space section. We acquired over 1,000 new, qualified bidders during the Space auction.

Coupled with our regular clients, we are hoping to have a very strong Space autograph section over the next several months.

For example, we only have one Apollo 11 crew signed piece for March.

Please contact Elizebeth@rrauction.com or phone 603-732-4280.

They're few and far between, but there are always uneducated buyers willing to pay much more than market value for something because they don't know what the market value is.

Here's one on eBay.

Now it will be a really long time before the seller finds someone who thinks this is a fair price - but eventually he will.

This company always has ridiculous prices on everything. I guess he must get some buyers and it is easier to sell one item for $1000 the 10 of the same for $100.

By this company, I am referring to the one on the link in the post above, not RR Auction.

Regarding our first time winners, I wanted to let you know that every one has paid their invoice in full.

Even with an unprecedented amount registrations submitted, RR Auction verified each persons identity along with their ability to honor their bids if they were issued a bidder number. After 30 years of doing this, we have pretty good systems in place.

Our consignors will be paid in full and on time.

Auction houses tend to get criticism when they mess up but not a lot of compliments when they don't.

As everyone knows I sold a lot of my collection in the RR January space sale and can only describe the whole experience from start to finish as 110% perfect.

Really nice people, great communications, great prices, quick payment, who could ask for anything more!
