How do you get on the auction companies mailing lists?

I would kind of like to know.Do you just send them a letter or do you have to bid?What do you have to do

The easiest way is to register and bid in auctions. Once you are on one company's list you seem to make it to others. You also might try calling heritage, etc.. mention to them that you are planning to bid in the next auction and see what happens. Be prepared to offer hobby references.

 

I'm not sure if I have you mixed up with someone else - but I thought you said that you were a young teen-ager. If you are, and are of minor legal status, you may have trouble registering at an auction house. Apologies, if you are not.

 

This is the second or third time I think you were looking for old auction catalogue's - so I am assuming you have some genuine interest. If you PM me with an address, I will send you some old as well as recent catalogues I have destined for the recycle bin.

Yes, the more relevant question is how do you get off.

 

I am going to need an addition to my home if I keep them all.

Yep. Register and put in a bunch of lowball bids on several items during their auctions. You won't win, but chances are you'll end up on their mailing list.

Easiest way is to call them up and request to be added to their mailing list.

 

They may want you to prove you're a serious buyer by providing an old invoice(s) showing some recent purchases (usually a $1,000 minimum, but one company requested $10,000 in total invoices from me once) or perhaps a list of dealer references (I can't recall any auction house checking my references). Then expect to get put on their catalog list for a couple of auctions. If you don't buy, you'll get dumped.

 

FYI, you will need to be 18 years old to bid in practically all the auctions.

You will need also to provide bank and credit card references to most coin companies before they will let you bid. Either that or you will have to place a deposit in your account of some amount to be determined by your bidding limit.

Ain't that the truth!
