I am in the process of cataloging 4 deals I completed in the last three months.

I can send you the catalog of what they have.

They mentioned several times that prices started at $1,000 on some houses (but of course made no mention of a reserve price) and they interviewed one buyer, who apparently bought a property for 75% of it's "worth", which paging through their catalog appears to be the highest price it had ever been listed for.The reporterette never once mentioned an actual price that someone paid for a house.

All of the above information changes what courts refer to as jurisdiction ....When it comes to suing a business in small claims court, you may sue any business that is organized (incorporated or established as an LLC) in your state.In addition, you may bring suit against any business–whether incorporated or not–if one of the following conditions is true: the business was responsible for injuring you or damaging your property in your state and you can find a way to serve your court papers on the business in your statethe business breaches a contract with you that was negotiated or was to be performed in your state and you can find a way to serve your court papers on the business in your statethe business has an office, warehouse, retail establishment, restaurant, or other physical facility here, even if that business is headquartered or organized elsewhere, orthe business does regular business in your state by selling products or services, employing a sales rep who calls on you personally or by phone to solicit business, sending you a catalog to solicit your business, or placing advertising in your state's media.The short story about suing out-of-state businesses.

@Ellen Griffith I have been contacting the log furniture manufacturers directly at the corporate level and I am being offered 40%-50% off catalog prices to furnish a 5 bedroom cabin.

I've ordered from part catalogs that seemed like the right part and its completely different.

One of my favorite tools is HD Supply catalog because it gives prices on parts/materials for most anything needing replacement. 2.

If they are new, use a Sears online catalog.
