Hi John,
Nice site but there are some obvious things that need some improvement.
Firstly on the opening page, the tiny little links "Home", "Contact" and "?" at the top, I had no idea what the third one was s I clicked it and ended up somewhere in the site, no idea where really. It may be a good idea to increase the size of those images and also to use the alt text to say what the links are for, where they go etc.
The link text in the blue bar ineeds some padding on top and bottom, some size consistency and a few, (the Home link) is of poor quality. They are also unevenly spaced, The text just underneath saying "Upcoming Auctions" is also of a poor quality.
Overall text size and font consistency needed, ditch the scrolling marquee and there is a huge amount of unused space at the bottom.
Past Auctions page: Although you've told people that these links will open in PDF files, it's also a good idea to tell them the approx. file size and also offer a link to download Adobe Reader. You may also want to consider duplicating these in MS Word .doc format as an alternative for those who don't want to download anything. Why are they only in PDF format though and not html like the rest of your site? Have you considered at least picking out the best auction results or most interesting and putting them on a webpage rather than PDF at least to just whet a buyer/seller's appetite?
Links page was a dead link and probably should appear last or second last on your link list anyway.
The link at the top that I still have no idea where it fits in the grand scheme of things is to a page with images on the left and text on the right. You need some padding around the text or images there as the text is currently hard up against both right and left table borders.
Nicole
