I mean by this that you often get a message or answer faster on the Forum than on the contact page because Catawiki employees often read along there (eg Tammo).

Zorro has asked questions (Contact Page/ Auctioneer) and so far as he writes heard nothing

I don't visit NL Sites that often, but to quote the example on Ebay.de, the Forum also consists of various parts. For example, postage, sending abroad, problems with non-payers, uploading photos, what is allowed do's and don'ts e.g. 18+ etc.

Thousands of questions are asked there that are often answered by seasoned users.

So why not a Forum section where you can ask Auction questions (I think the number of auction users is getting bigger and they have nothing to do with the Catalog either) 6 weeks sold a book from my Shop to Japan who was not a registered user, so nothing with the Catalog can.

and then also a Forum only for the Catologus users then no one will feel harassed-:)

so by the way it is interesting to know how the ratio of users is between catalog and Auction only users.

As long as they are questions related to the catalog, I don't see any problems with that, there are no stupid questions, but stupid answers.

I have no problem with that but 90% they are not Catalog questions but people who think they have gold in their hands and sorry often have to search too lazily for themselves

last week answered a question about a coin just goooooo ... inside one minute found the set with http of the set answer given just look back set was only 20/25 € so value a coin ?? just a small answer gosh nice i couldn't find thanks or so little effort i thought so

think the disappointment was great well usually i don't answer such questions anymore

by the way this is not more something for the cafè

I think the trick is here

just a small answer gosh nice i couldn't find it thanks or so little effort i thought so

I think the disappointment was great well, I usually don't answer such questions anymore

I've also answered plenty of questions but don't ask for anything in return (to be honest, I never even thought about it)

The big problem with auction questions is that the regular forum visitors can hardly ever answer them. And those who can prefer not to answer the questions publicly. (Which is a shame, because we could all learn something from that.)

As a result, everyone (the questioners, the forum visitors and the auctioneers) will get annoyed by those topics. A separate auction forum does not solve that either.

So I think Arco's solution is the most effective.

http://veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/1157489-erotica-pierre-lou-s-aphrodite-moeurs-antiques-paris-ca-1890 the top lot of next week's French book auction. For such a first lottery ticket, which is likely to receive extra attention in the auction announcement emails, you would expect a little more care to get it right. Approx. 1890, As the text further indicates, the book was first published in 1896. What is worse is that the photos make it clear that this edition of the book was published in 1912 at the earliest (see photo 6 below).

Moreover, it seems to me a later binding of the normal softcover edition, since the print (photos 1 and 3) is actually the front cover of that softcover edition (see the "Paris" under the image, photo 3: the only reason it says it is that it was cut from the front cover). See e.g. http://www.google.be/imgres?imgurl=http://www.le-livre.fr/photos/R15/R150051172.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.antiqbook.com/search .php? action% 3Dsearch% 26l% 3Dfr% 26author% 3DPierre% 2BLou% 25FFs% 26rlist% 3Decr% 26owner_id% 3D-csmx% 26searchform% 3Dhttp% 253A% 252F% 252Fwww.antiqbook.com% 252Findex.php% 253Fl% 253Dfr % 2526o% 253D% 26sort_type% 3Dasc% 26sort_order% 3Dauthor_name% 2Basc% 252C% 2Btitle_first_word% 26page_num% 3D20 & amp; h = 878 & amp; w = 615 & amp; tbnid = xGdcJBvZv8gv9UM: & amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; ; ei = N5HUVOuVJMTtUtnPgJAI & amp; tbm = isch & amp; ved = 0CB4QMygBMAE

So, a non-hardback reprint, the 1912 (or later) reissue, is the top lot of the French Book Auction ...

Remarkable lot in the Elvis Presley auction that started today (lot 131):

http://veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/1588669-5-elvis-presley-sun-record-company-78-toeren-programmaophone records? previous = favorites

These seem to be Elvis' first five 78rpm records on the Sun label and should be worth at least a few thousand, but I wonder if they are original. These recordings were later rereleased by RCA and allow you to buy old unused Sun labels on ebay. Moreover, I don't see any record with a so-called "deep groove" (see: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/ELVIS-PRESLEY-SUN-78RPM-MYSTERY-TRAIN-/201299644869?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ede64ddddd as well seller remarks "Unknown to me whether reissues at 78 rpm have been released". Unfortunately, the lot does not contain matrix numbers that could offer a solution. The originals are in fact engraved (including U-154) ...

@boekenmagazijn: that is not necessary (anymore) if there is an auction forum. Knowledge is then built up so that auctions can do something with each other.

About the vintage bicycle auction that starts on March 20, 2015 and ends on March 27.

In this vintage bicycle auction there are 2 lots (29 & amp; 30) that offer the same bicycle with exactly the same 15 photos, just in a slightly different order. They are also from the same seller and I'm afraid he will have a problem delivering the same bike to 2 buyers.

In addition, I am surprised to see three lots with brand new folding bikes (factory new from 2013 in unopened packaging) featured in a vintage bicycle auction.

The comic auction of Monday 8 June 2015, lot 73, shows the cover of DD 37 from 1955. The description mentions that the supplement from 1955: 37 is included in the lot, but is not depicted. I would advise the bidders to first ask whether the appendix (without number 37 on the cover and fewer pages, of course) is indeed included. Because why is the attachment itself not included as a photo with the lot? This attachment is very rare, namely ...

This attachment is very rare, namely ...

With attachment in good condition, this number alone will easily reach 150 euros.

Given the composition of the lot, I expect that this loose attachment will no longer be included ..

It's a bit late to report, the viewing days are already over.

Such items at the auction are fine by me, but it itches very hard if you read this in the description:

See also the photos for the details

Then you get a search image. Find the seven mistakes. If you don't see them, you've just been fooled!

An honest description would state that the back has been put back together and then daubed with red paint to cover up this defect. Putting it together didn't work out very well, so the first and last page have been glued to the cover just to be sure. (I could be wrong, but I don't think I'm far off.)

No problem that this album is offered, but because of the description that actually describes nothing, this comes across as very (deliberately) misleading to me.

in the book auction on Thursday June 18, lot 44, it should have been mentioned that the dust jacket is missing. All books have the same black dust jacket without print.

Since Tammo left, I don't have the feeling that an auctioneer is reading along here anyway.

What: Oh! Is Tammo gone as Head of Auctions? Good luck with looking for a good replacement.

He hasn't left CataWiki, has he? The link to the Auctioneer still comes with an image of Tammo.

And let us as collectors have the illusion that we can help the auctioneers to place good auctions! :)

And nowadays I look less and less at the auction pages and this is a nice update.

@DisneyMeentwijck
What: Oh! Is Tammo gone as Head of Auctions? Good luck with looking for a good replacement.

As of April 1, I am indeed retired and therefore stopped working professionally for Catawiki. From that time on I am again an active volunteer as an administrator at the Comics and a moderator on the forum.

My successor as Head of Auctioneers is Patrick Vranken.

Fortunately, most communication about the auctions already goes through the most suitable way via the contact page and the links at the auctions. The forum is expressly intended for comments / questions about the catalog and not for the auctions.

The link to the viewing days (on page 1 of this topic at Tammo) no longer works for me. Is there a new link?

Thanks.
