Hello Phil
Thanks for your comments, I hear what you are saying my friend. In fact I'm painfully aware of the situation, however I would ask you to bear a few things in mind. Soulbid is very young, just a month old, in that short space of time I am staggered at the response, the hits to the site and the amount of people that have actually registered. Even eBay had to start somewhere and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have put your 'Lady in green' on there for $10 with no reserve in those days. There is no rule anywhere to say that you must get a bargain from an auction, after all who really gets anything half decent off eBay at a bargain price these days? unless you've scoured the C&W section People know that if they use eBay because of the perceived number of people who inhabit it they are pretty safe in starting their big record small, Soulbid does not have that surity yet. Plenty of people start their auctions on eBay at going rate, mainly because it's as cheap to do that as use a reserve. Soulbid doesn't charge a fee for a reserve, it could, I have coded all of the mechanics in to do so but Hey! why copy eBay completely.
So Phil, I have given everybody 3 completely free of charge listings to use. Why don't you take advantage of that and try it out, I for one will look forward to bidding on your Magnetics that you have started for £10 no reserve I think you will see then what a difficult situation I am in. Perhaps I'm a bit too expensive but you or other sellers on Soulbid may not be. Everything has to start somewhere.
Right I'm away now to write a tome for the appropriate Forum topic where I'll be glad to answer any questions, criticisms good or bad and generally fight my corner.
Appreciate your comments
