That’s exciting you went to your first in-person auction! I really miss them. Every good in-person auction I knew of has gone online.
I love the scrum of the crowd around the tables and the fast-paced bidding. Ryanne and I are a good team because I’ll do the bidding and she’ll start boxing up the tables we win.
I’ve started bidding again at my favorite auctions that have gone online. People are continuing to pay outrageous sums of money for items. I can only imagine its boomers? with a lot of money that have realized they can build their collections this way.
No way people are paying these high prices to resell.
I remember meeting this guy at an eBay event in the early days. I asked if he was ever going to sell the company. He said no. (Company was sold a year later 🙂
I guess he finally got out from under whatever no-compete he had signed with GoDaddy. And with Godaddy killing Outright, he can just rebuild it.
I’d love to know what other people think of this new version.
Seems like a slowdown all around. The longer you sell on eBay, the longer you’ll be holding onto items. We probably have some items in our inventory that have been listed for 10 years. Doesn’t worry me because there’s no carrying cost + our inventory purchase prices are so low.
Congrats! Business must be doing well to expand. Have you hired anyone? Or do you just need more space?
These companies seem to never learn that scarcity is what makes any collectible valuable.
As Navy people, dont they pay to have your whole house moved? Assume 300 pieces of clothing would just be some extra boxes on the cargo plane.
Congrats on Hawaii. Assume that’s a plumb location!
Agreed here also. Might be better to find a smaller, private landlord where face-to-face matters.
Agree with these ideas. Anyone who knows your business would be a good reference. I assume the landlord just wants someone to say you’re responsible.
I like hearing about your auctions. I think trading cards are perfect for that format.
We also had a lot of low dollar sales. Our number are often nice because of several sale over $100. Nice to find that kind of inventory.
