I would like to announce on the 24th of every month, starting this December, is Auction Independence Day on ChaseTheChuckwagon.com and Vendazzle.com. Since launching we are now over 1,500 members strong and that gives us some "strength in numbers".
As one of our members OldGames puts this: "Independence Day for Buyers and Sellers! - Celebrate the new choices and opportunities that CTCW provides, and the fact that we're no longer subject to the short sighted policies of a venue whose direction no longer matches our own!! "
I couldn't have said it better myself. So please join together as the gaming community we are and maybe the Video Gaming Community along with ChaseTheChuckwagon can make a stand against the corporate auction sites that abound and show that we have a viable choice for our auction business.
And, considering that a very small % of our 1,500+ members are running auctions, please use this as a time to try running some auctions. You can still use the other auction sites, but on this day, join us in listing at least 5 items on ChaseTheChuckwagon.com or Vendazzle.com. If we all join together we can get 10,000+ auctions running each month and that is something that will send a strong message to everyone that we gamers have had enough. And it will also insure that the site stays fresh in peoples minds as more auctions means more traffic and bidding activity for all our sellers. And it give me something to promote around the net each month.
It is my hope that on this day, a modest amount of new and interesting auctions will appear, maybe even some promotional deals from some of our great sellers, and that will draw in more users. Basically, I want the 24th of each month to be a day you as a buyer can visit our site and be guaranteed to see a significant amount of new items up for sale.
And, to minimize your risk as a seller to avoid fees consider this. Our listings are free. Then if you elect not to use any Listing Enhancements (home page featured items, bold titles, etc.) and forgo a reserve price (small fee there) auction for a conservative but fair starting bid, then you will only have fees if your items sell (3% up to $100). If they don't then no fees.
I know December 24th is the day before X-mas, but if you can't get your listings up on that day, just attempt to run some listings before the end of the year. With our exisitng member base of nearly 1,600 + any of you that register as a result of A.I.D. we can cement the Chuckwagon and Vendazzle as less expensive auction alternatives.
Are you all with us on this?
This will be a single thread for Auction Independence Day, and all sellers can promote their A.I.D. auctions and/or promotions here each month.
