ReptileAuctioneer.com is opening it's doors today, July 11th 2014.
We at ReptileAuctioneer.com sincerely hope to become the largest, easiest to use, and most used venue for auctioning reptiles. Auctions, for better or worse are here to stay. The difference between helping or harming the community as a whole lies greatly with the breeders and buyers that participate in these auctions daily. Several people have covered the views on the online reptile auction community as a whole so I will not rehash that here.
Our goal here at ReptileAuctioneer.com is to bring the most buyers and breeders together in a community that does not require every user to have a large following on another medium. I understand that there are some big names in the reptile auction industry that receives almost (sometimes over) retail for their auctions. This is fine and does nothing to harm the community.
However the smaller breeders that have small followings are receiving drastically under retail for their animals, however they must move them to pay for their hobby. This is due to the relatively low numbers of eyes that actually see their auction. Our goal here is to bring more eyes to that stellar animal produced by a small time breeder so that it is able to reach the level of value that it would with a bigger name. This prevents the drastic decline in prices that we have seen in recent years due to the inability of the small time breeders to reach a big time audience.
I hope you join us in this new marketplace for online auctions where EVERYONE can buy, sell, and trade.
Thank you,
