I have a big ad coming out in PCM and then will direct mail a flyer in a few weeks....THEN I'll start to load a roster onto bidspotter about month out from the sale.

For what it's worth, a mailer should be going out much sooner then "in a few weeks". We are only 7 weeks away from the auction, not long when people, who are not regular viewers of this site nor subcribers of PCM, need to start making plans and reservations. I Love this auction and have not missed one since it's start but all publicity is always WAY late. There needs to be some EXCITEMENT generated, blood flowing, heart beats increasing and pulses jumping out of the skin.

Ray.....publicity won't be JUST starting in a few weeks. I've been fielding calls, personally handing out flyers at Columbia and sending out flyers to others who have requested them for over a month now. Nothing I've ever done with this sale is by accident or without a ton of thought involved, 11 auctions & $5 million in sales has to mean SOMETHING doesn't it?

Also PCM & a flyer & this website are FAR from the only places that publicize this auction. I will be pouring over 10 grand into various print-locations & web locations leading up to the sale. Not to mention an e-mail blast 3x the 2 weeks leading up to the sale to 130,000 people.

I heard from Seth about my post and he explained all that he is doing as far as notifying everyone. This is more then a hard core auction, it's a happening and a lot of fun. Everyone try to get there early for the Friday night sale and auction which is then followed the next day by the BIG auction. I've even put some nice signs for sale including 3 great Buick pieces and even a large Husky shield with the sun burst in the background.

One thing that is new with this sale is the fact that I am going to webcast it on two different sites. Bidspotter.com will always be my first choice, but I'm also going to use a partner firm of theirs called Remote Bidder. They are going to focus on obtaining some overseas bidders for us, BUT, anybody over here that finds their site more enjoyable or user-friendly can gladly use them. The platforms are similar, but I really like remote bidder's system. I am working feverishly to get all the pics taken and the line-up set. That's the difficult thing about the online catalog, is that you have to have your sale order pretty much etched in stone before you launch it.

Larry...e-mail your addy to: seth@okautomobilia.com and I will drop in tomorrow's mail!

Matt...I charge a flat 10% to the seller...no other costs involved regardless of how it sells either online or by credit card.

Seth, are you still planning the Friday night table sale and auction and what are the buyers fees going to be?

We won't be having a table sale on friday night, we replaced that with the fact there is going to be swap-meeting all day friday. Also, since we don't have the "store" anymore, a lot of the items that we would bargain-basement on friday night are no longer available to us. As far as the buyer's premium goes, I've always done 10% onsite (cash or check), 12.5% onsite with credit card & 15% online. I am thinking about offering an additional percentage discount to onsite cash & check folks....thoughts??

(Before this turns into a debate about the evil buyer's premium, just search buyer's premium in the archives and re-read the old arguments, I think I've articulated my points as to why I don't have any choice but to charge one at all)
