Time will tell if it has an affect on the prices. I'm sure they are trying to give every possible way to expand bidding, since it is in their best interest and the consigners best interest for them to get the best possible price. I hope it will attract some new people to the hobby of stein collecting if they can advertise their web site and pull some new bidders in. New collectors usually start small (lower priced steins), and then work their way up. If it attracts some new people to the hobby, I'm for it. If it leads to alot of online bidding wars for steins, then I'm not so sure. It's probably here to stay though (online bidding). I'm sure those catalogs they mail out are not cheap. John
