Now rather than listing an abundance of different types of auctions, we’ll be urging our sellers to list live auction shows by “themes” with emphasis on titles to identify what will be in the auction.

The advantages for sellers of antiques, collectibles and uniques with this new format are highly rewarding when you consider the following:

When listing like or themed items, you’ll attract more collectors/ buyers for that type of item.
Your brand in that genre would also solidify.
Shipping becomes easier if multiple items are going to the same buyers.
The same applies to invoicing.
The same applies to set-up, description and display.
Return business, and more subscribers to your auctions are much more likely
Themes not be restrictive, but should be definable: IE an era can be a theme, opening it up to a multitude of collectibles types.
As with live physical auctions, it’s possible that if you’re looking to buy within your genre, that contacts can be made at these auctions.
You may also get consignment requests.
You can take requests for future auctions.
You can promote future auctions.

This is as close to doing a physical auction as you can get without renting an auction hall!

We are looking forward to working with our users as we chart this new course in Online auctions!

Thanks for reading,

My name is Walt Kolenda aka Auctionwally as I’m known on the Internet. I have 25 + years in the live auctions business and I’m excited to be on board here at Dealitlive.

I’ll be working  here as an advocate with sellers and management here at Dealitlive.

The management team knows how important it is to have great communication with the people who are the backbone of the site, the sellers.

They want to make sure your side is heard and that your concerns and ideas are given the attention they deserve in order to build best place to conduct  live auctions on the Internet.

I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts here in the forum and emails to me at Walt.k@dealitlive.com, and giving that feedback to the people that run Dealitlive.

The other half of what I’ll be doing is very much the reverse of that. I’ll be reporting on the progress and updates Dealitlive is making in the live auctions marketplace. But I’ll not only be reporting it to you here, I’ll be shouting it from the rooftops of everyplace I think will be advantageous to do so.

Here’s an example on how I intend to spread the word about our great new site.

I’ve had two live auctions here so far, and I’m happy to report, I sold 98% of 26 lots!  Here’s my DIL  profile, if you’d like to subscribe to my auctions to see how I sell.

I hope you have some comments and suggestions, after all it’s your show!
