    Default New Video Game Auction Site

    Hi my name is Mike owner of http://www.8bitjunkies.com a new auction site for video games and systems.
    Use prmo code 8bitjunkies for 30 days of free basic auction listings!

    All the fees are clearley listed on the site under site fees. I started this site because I'm just tired or all the high fees Ebay charges. You will find our fess to be about 80% less over all than Ebay

    Please have a look at the new site and let me know what you think. Thank you for taking the time to read my post

    , seriously? You're not only very late to market, but that name makes it sound a lot more narrow in scope than other sites.

    Please give a list of why your site is even better than Game Gavel, much less ebay and its enormous user base.

    I would also be interested in hearing how this compares with Game Gavel.

    Ok, I looked at it and my reaction is why bother? Gamegavel has been working this angle for a couple years now and has made little or no progress. Why would anyone choose your site over either Ebay or Gamegavel? You offer nothing that those two sites don't already. For a tiny new entry to compete with a giant company like Ebay, they have to have some kind of competitive advantage. Having lower fees is simply not enough of an advantage as collectors can always sell commission free here or on many other active sites with a marketplace. Similarly, you can't offer casual traffic like Ebay and to a lesser extent Game Gavel can, so what exactly are you providing that isn't already well provided by those two sites?
