ONLINE AUCTIONS: SKY HIGH FEES A THING OF THE PAST
September 8th, 2007 by RawDepthPro Audio Forum Goers Weigh In: Sellers Feel that Auction Sites are Far Too Greedy. One Member Seeks Revenge.
Sellers are often revolted after receiving their bill for selling items on popular online auction sites. According to ProAux.com President Gordon Brinton, anger and resentment toward those big sites can run deep, particularly among the Pro Audio community. His findings come from seeing many years of discussion and debate in audio related forums over where to sell gear. He puts into plain words what exactly led him to start up his free audio equipment auction site, “We just needed a place to buy, sell, and trade our audio gear without feeling like we’re being fleeced and without a bunch of doll babies and jewelry getting in the way.†Gordon has generously opened his site to the Pro Audio community and is allowing them to buy and sell, (auction style,) completely free of charge.
A live sound engineer, home studio owner, and all around audiophile, Gordon has certainly had his share of auctioning used equipment. He speaks for many when he says he is fed up with soaring End-of-Auction, Listing, and Reserve fees. On some auction sites it is possible to run up fees of over $50 just by selling a single item.
Gordon has decided to fight back by giving away auction space to anyone who wants it. All standard auction business is on-the-house regardless of whether you are buying, selling, or trading. In fact, the only way to generate a fee at ProAux.com is to specify that your listings be given special treatment. Web Address: http://www.proaux.com
