FaunaAuction.com??

This was brought up in the Discussions About This Site forum and thought I would post it here. There is also a discussion about herp auctions on the BOI that may be pertinent as well.

So here's the question I want to pose:

Is this worthwhile pursuing? There are several other auction sites out there, a couple of which even advertise on this site. None seem to be getting very much traffic, so is that because there is just a lack of interest in live animal auctions?

Danni Wilson had an auction program all ready to set up on the older version of FaunaClassifieds.com right before James Thornton pulled the plug on us. Personally, I did not feel that the time was right for something like an auction. But maybe that's not true any longer.

Yes, I can certainly set up a plain and simple auction board, but it would be a lot of time and work on my part, and to be honest, if I can't make a couple of dollars off of the effort, then I have better things to do.

This will be a very simple poll: just YES or NO.

YES means that you would like to see me do an auction board and are willing to pay a VERY nominal fee to participate in something like this. Meaning sellers will be charged a small percentage of the sale. And membership fees for both buyers and sellers will apply. The fee will be VERY reasonable, but it will be the ONLY way to control membership to REAL people whom are serious about this idea.

NO should be self explanatory, and no reasons are necessary. Something like YES - but only if it is FREE, is not an option.

So let me know.

Thanks.
