Anyone remember this?

Back in the late 1990s I bought my first slabbed coins from (I believe) an online auction house, and I just can't remember the name of it. The main thing I recall was making my bids by phone, since my online capabilities back then were "view only" (it was called WebTV). They were pretty big company with a large inventory and would hold twice-weekly auctions, or maybe they were weekly, I can't fully remember.

They were really great and since I'm getting tired of FeeBay I was curious if they were still in biz. Anyone know?

Was it Auction network? They did coins and property (and jewelry)? I think they were out of FLA?

I think they did move into gems after awhile, but Auction Network doesn't ring a bell. Thx for the guess.

Found the answer in a 2007 issue of Coin World.

It's TeleTrade.

Seems like Stacks & Bowers either bought them out or are in process of doing same. Website looks under construction.
