Something I've Noticed Regarding Auctions
7 years ago
Is it just me or does anyone else see "auctions" out there where they might as well be flat rates, not auctions?
Like I get if you start low and the AB is only 25-30 dollars higher. But you know what is the point of making
SB 70 dollars for example then the AB is like 80-100 dollars, to me that really just seems like a stretch and really isn't much point in it at all. It hardly feels like an auction when you're already 75% or more of the way to the auto buy.
I personally think at most the SB shouldn't rise over 50% of the auto buy I do get the artist has to make money and all but really you have to understand that buyers look to these as a means of saving money, they're not going to feel like bidding on something that's already a solid chunk of what it would cost in the first place. That is just my opinion of course I'm sure some people would see it and be more than happy to, there's always an exception or two.
Sometimes I just like to express my opinion on stuff like that. Its not that I hate people who do it or the fact that its done, its just always felt, ineffective to me. If you're that set on making a certain area of money, why don't you just make it a flat price? I guess its just so that they can say "no bids" or "auction" in journals/keywords in attempts to get a few extra clicks.
