New Gaming Auction Website: GameGavel.com
I started this thread over at a few other places, but thought some folks here might be interested too. I don't want this viewed as an ad/spam but rather as an informative post that is open to commentary/suggestion for the site. We are all gamers here, and can all benefit.
If you recall, ebay has really upp'ed its fees for games and such. They have implemented new rules that are insanely unfair to buyers/sellers, and in turn have really turned a lot of people off to it in general.
About 2 months ago when this all started happening, I started a thread at digitalpress (a very robust gaming site, if you are interested) to gage interest in a video game only auction site with different rules, lower prices, and a more community feel. It was received with luke warm responses by some and a mix of hot and cold as well. The owner of the famous DP store/site Joe was really keen on the idea and his enthusiam led me to actually start the site.
Business plan, and computer at the ready I went through with it and invested the time and money needed to make it happen. It has been up and running for about a month now, and it is slowly growing.
Currently, everyone who signs up gets a $2.50 bonus to be used for selling items. And there is a sweet contest going now that allows sellers to have the opportunity to win a boxed original nintendo entertainment system.
And, FWIW, you can sell customized PSPs without being sneaky or secretive with the auction!
What do you all think?
