I just received an email about an auction site that I've never heard of before called Catawiki. Anyone have any info on this auction site or used it before?

    They seem to be a general auction site....https://www.catawiki.com/ - and have many categories including coins. I have not bid on any of their products. Cheers, RickO

    Got it too.
    I wonder what incentive PCGS had for the promo.

    I bought with them months ago. I think they are in Europe.

    $$$$?

    I'm guessing it costs a pretty penny to get direct access to the PCGS user base. And probably worth it, given the interest generated for a previously "unknown" auction site here.

    I assumed PCGS got hacked.

    Weird, I don't have any foreign coins at all no reason for PCGS to send me an email about an auction site that is non US coin related. Delete and move on I guess, good to see I wasn't the only one to get the email.

    Dave.

    I received this as well...or was this part of the fine print...facebook, instagram, etc... for the 10 days contest...all those who entered are now subject to spamming?

    From the PCGS Privacy Policy.....

    I guess it was deemed reasonable?
