  • Agreed. Terrible format. Why is it so hard to find NYC sample sales now that NY Mag stopped publishing theirs? Bummer!

  • I agree. I hate slide shows - your site makes everything difficult to view.

  • You changed the format of the sample sales page. Now it's a mess. Keep it simple, dum dums. Only sample sales on the sample sale page, with dates, times and location, all on one page.
