Live Card Auctions!

[dgrimes248]

Interested in baseball. Like the idea and would like to see it on YouTube on the same day and time each week

I think it is a great idea - I do FB but not YT. Need to have the rules set in place on how it would work in including mailing fees etc. The only problem I see is time - need to establish time limits, etc. I have cards I would send in to you. As for years - I am primarily interested in pre-war but most of the traders seem to be newer so you probably would have to cater to them. Goose97 made a great point about putting this request in each sport section to get maximum number of replies.

A few questions:
1) Is it a live auction with people making bids (aka Zoom), or just on FB? Zoom may be an interesting way to hold a live auction.
2) Is it a silent bid, where you ask everyone to submit a bid on Card a, you have 5 minutes to submit a bid via messenger, and he highest bid gets it?
3) Can the seller ask for a minimum price/bid?
4) If they can't reach that price, are they stuck with whatever the actual final bid is.
5) Baseball is always good, hockey would be nice, as well.

Just a few thoughts,

I was looking for ideas from members on what cards they would like to see in the auction.

I dropped a link in Rich's thread in the Hockey section to see who all would be game. Hopefully they comment in here.

Sounds cool, but not a Hockey fan..Maybe do these for the 3 other Sports....

My two cents:
A preview in some manner is a good idea. Seeing a list of the lots to be auctioned at the least. Better would be pix of the lots.
I've never done an FB live so am a little unsure of how it all works.
Sounds like it could be fun.

I plan to. Its not going to be just hockey. Hockey as of right now will be the least I have in terms of cards to auction off. I have baseball, basketball and football mostly.

I’d be interested but I don’t have Facebook haha. I am a 33 yr old without Facebook, I know lol.

I'm on Facebook a lot! I visit several Card Trading, Buying, Selling groups daily. Most of these groups have live auctions too.
I've noticed all kinds of cards (even memorabilia) being sold. Just about any kind of card that you want to sell can be offered at auction.

Now, as to why I didn't reply sooner..... Every time I try to log in here, I am sent back to the log in page. I checked my user name and password each time, but I am still sent back
to the log in page. For some reason, after trying about 5 or 6 times, the menu popped up about Notifications. But, even when I clicked on that, I was sent back to the log in page.
This time, just for the halluvit, I clicked on FORUM, and here I am.
I don't know if this will happen the next time or not, but I'll let you know if I can log in. If I can't log in, I won't say anything!
Thanks!
Bob
