Rick Latona Auctions spends time and money marketing to end users, but it takes more than that to get the job done.  The most important thing to keep in mind is that it takes time for end users to come to the table.  For example, the average response time from a Fortune 500 company to [...]

I love Howard Neu and would never say anything bad about him. I have no negative thoughts. He's a great guy, honest, passionate, and most importantly loyal to the cause.
