It is good to hear that Carnaby is adding their thoughts and comments to Auctionwatch's members, but what about some of the other auction venues? Why do we try to get some of the other small auction sites to discuss their plans and goals on Auctionwatch.
How can we get epier, tbay, auctionweiser, SYI, etc. over here? Any suggestions???

We've had the BV Prez here a couple of times. An embarassing tirade and a discourse on Dim's inaccurate sell-thru estimation at BV ... Dim had 0.8% and Prez had 1.4%, like 1.4% is that much better than 0.8%

Other auction site owners sometimes show up here incognito.

Speaking of a 0.8% sell thru rate I think that may be a reality very soon. The new verification process has driven out some shill bidders and pranksters and that was a hefty chunk of the sales. I looked at several sellers auctions today and only saw a few bids ( amongst fellow sellers ). I look at a lot of auctions and only saw a tiny amount of bids.

Thats good to hear. But it would be nice to hear from some of the other auction houses and get their points across, and we can then interact with them on a one-to-one basis.

I read the boards but seeing as how our site is mainly for games I rarely see anything dealing with Player Auctions but would be happy to answer any questions I could.

Sounds great. LEts start a new discussion with PlayersAuction as the tag line. Hopefully some other sites will come as well. Or, mayber some members will contact these sites directly for discussion.

There was such a thread long ago where many reps showed up to tell us about their sites.
http://www.auctionwatch.com/mesg/read.html?num=33&id=4620&thread=4456
I don't have time to re-read it now but I might later. I recall it being very informative at the time although very few of sites have been mentioned here since. You might find some useful info in that thread about who to contact for return visits.

AuctionBoss,
Have you gone to any of the secondary sites and tried to engage the staff/management in a Q&A on their site?

Hello Toollady,
I will contact auctionweiser, epier, and tbay, and see if they are willing to start a Q & A.
Can some of you also contact either them and/or some other sites so that we can learn more about them?

Hello All,
I have sent e-mails to auctionweiser, epier, edeal, and tbay in regards to an invitation to come over to Auctionwatch.
Lets see what they say.

I have contacted SYI, Auctionweiser, ePier, Haggle, and eDeal in regards to a Q & A with Auctionwatch members.
Here's what I have received so far
Received and auto reply from eDeal and Haggle. ePier has not responded yet to any of my e-mails.
SYI might want to do something like this on a auction service. Currently SYI said they are working on building the site up, and it isn't in their best interest until everything is complete.
Auctionweiser said they might do a Q & A on Auctionwatch at a later time. They are currently working on adding services to the site, and starting to begin an advertising campaign to drive traffic for their sellers and bidders.
I will let everyone else know if I hear back from eDeal, ePier, or Haggle.

Auctionweiser is advertising? Hmmmm ...
Don't know anything about them. Are they a free site? If they're pay, do they have a fee structure almost as nice as ePier's?

ehammer,
Nice! And your argument against free sites makes sense. Care to share what your sell-through rate is? I'm not familiar with your site. Do you focus on a particular category of item or is anyone free to list anything? Do you advertise, and if so where? Thanks.

Hello,
I have seen Auctionweiser on a few other sites, and in a few newsletters. I guess they are taking it step by step. The fee structure is no listing fees, and a FVF if successful.
You go to a lot of different sites.. Check them out and see what you think. Most of these sites (ePier, Bidville, Auctionweiser, eDeal, are all basically the same)
I hear Gegy is starting up soon... That should be interesting.

In response to "wish we could get other auction houses to add to here"
Russell's Auction House (russells-auctionhouse.cityslide.com) I have from that site itself ZERO SALES, ZERO SELL THRU, and ZERO BIDS, do get a lot of hits and lookers though.

There are some great other sites out there. You can ask others around here like bidsbids, RB, and myself. We recommend several sites including Bidville, AuctionDiner, and SnapRat.

Since when is bidsbids recommending Bidville? He is on of the biddest bashers of that worthless site. Only stupid Canadians and worthless common card sellers would recommend Bidville.

caff! Excellent post and to show your support for Bidville too! Bidsbids really supports Bidville because just LOOK the numbers it supplies to us.
It encourages new people everyday. The best advertising you can do!
Everybody keep up the good work, and Bidville will topple eBay. If not them, AuctionDiner is a close second.

Nothing, its a great site, and thanks for showing your support for it. I heard you did well over there, and since it's talked about so much, it just brings more people in.
Keep up the great work there, Caff!
