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,
