Title: New Auction Site ?
Post by: Orcs on 03 July 2021, 07:54:28 AM
I got an email from Tiny Wargames yesterday, and they are putting an auction site on thier website. It says its open to all, so I assume that we can auction anything on it.

The link to the T's and C's did not work. It could be a better alternative to E-bay

I'm using Minis Barter,  free and easy to use:
https://minisbarter.com/

Have over 400 items listed I think, 15mm WW2, 15mm Napoleonics, 10mm Austrian Napoleonic artillery limbers, 6mm moderns. It's not an auction site where you bid, just a selling or bartering site.

It's not great footfall yet, but have managed a few sales. The more people that use it, the more people that boycott ebay, the better it'll become. Minis Barter does have a set up for business users too, although I don't know the details of it.

But yes, anything has got to be better than Ebay, which is basically trying to become Amazon Mk.2 rather than an auction house.

Mmm, isn't Tiny Wargames one a sales page for them where anyone *can bid*?

That's what it looks like...

Been a couple of good bargains, too.

Loads but they're usually either such high traffic stuff is buried, or so low traffic no one visits. Plus it's Farcebook :D
