We previously reported to you that in 2011 we set our all-time record for sales in a single year with our new record of $3,543,243. This marks our 4th consecutive THREE million dollar year (setting a new record each year), our 9th consecutive TWO million dollar year, and our 22nd consecutive ONE million dollar year!

But we set another record, and in some ways this is even more impressive. We auctioned 104,431 individual items during 2011, and not only does this break our old record of 94,000 items set last year, but we wonder if any auction anywhere has ever auctioned over 100,000 different items in a single year, where all the items are given to the auction house and sent from a single location?

And of course you normally associate large size with lower standards, and yet we manage to continue to offer the most accurate images and descriptions, the best packing and far and away the best customer service of any auction, large or small!

2011 was also the year our auctioning of "bulk lots" went into high gear! During 2011 we auctioned 1,846 bulk lots that contained a whopping 58,200 items (compared to 2010 when we auctioned 1,006 bulk lots, and 2009 when we auctioned only 121 bulk lots). Both buyers and sellers LOVE these bulk lots!

Buyers love them because they get items for under wholesale, and because we almost always list every single item contained in the bulk lot (no buying 100 assorted one-sheets and seeing only three of them and discovering the other 97 are pure junk as happens in many bulk lot auctions other than ours).

Sellers love them because it lets them get rid of a lot of unwanted lower end items at one time with no work on their part (and there is no dealer anywhere who wants to buy low end items for more than pennies on the dollar).

We want to thank our nearly NINE HUNDRED consignors and our 34,000+ buyers, because without all of them, none of the above would have been possible!
