Adobe Acrobat Reader is a great way to download large, complex documents such as our catalog, IF it is set up right. However, for some inexplicable reason, it does not always come set up right! If your computer locks up when you try to download, you either don't have Acrobat Reader or it needs adjusting. Don't worry, it's easy to fix.
Why use Acrobat? What is a "PDF"? When we prepare our catalog for the print shop, we end up with a file that would take days to download! With Adobe Acrobat, we can convert that to a version that looks great on the screen and downloads in minutes! The advantage of this "Portable Document File" becomes clear.
Do you have the Acrobat Reader? If you don't find it in your program directory and don't see the logo below on your desktop, you probably don't. If you click the logo, it should link you directly to the Adobe download page where you can get your free copy. Just answer a few questions and choose the right version for your machine. This is a big download, so it takes a while. After you have it on your hard drive, click it or follow Adobe's directions to install. After it is installed, you can make your adjustments.
Page Not Responding?
Every now and then, someone decides they need to "improve" their web browser. When they do, havoc often follows with web pages! IE7 and Firefox have "tabs" which can hide the new window you open. If you click on a thumbnail image and don't get a page with larger images, check to see if it went to another tab. If not, minimize the current page and see if another page is hiding underneath.
In our archive, we have just reworked the links so that pricelists or old catalogs don't open in a new window or tab. Be sure to use your "BACK" key to get back to the previous menu or screen when you are done.
Haven't I Seen That Before?
Maybe so. They certainly aren't making any more of what we sell! A few items are not sold in each auction... and we try again at a later date. Some items are sold, but the buyer may default. Sometimes the buyer changes their mind and reconsigns the item. Sometimes we miss a fault in the description and offer the buyer a refund. Increasingly, as we have been in business over 40years, those of you with sharp memories will recognize an item that sold decades ago as it once again becomes part of an estate.
