Been waiting for a better site to sell cards for ages. I'm going to test it to sell a card soon!

Thanks again Rich...as a reminder to folks...if you fill out your "about me" page on the site, there is a place for your ebay id...and it is a direct link to your feedback there. It's a pretty nice feature to let folks know you have been around.

Very good suggestion Leon!

Any other little tidbits of info like this would be appreciated! Most often those are the kind of things one would never know--or even discover maybe for months!!

A few other things would be to be sure to use the snipe function which is built into the software, if sniping is what you prefer? I won't be bidding on the site but if I were I would definitely use it. I almost always snipe on the bay....

Another one of the things I really like about the software is that you can search on the # of bids....and....

The little arrows above each column do a really good job of quick glances of what's new, highest price, # of bids etc......It is a fairly intuitive search system and I am still learning a little bit myself....

So far so good...Keep the feedback coming.

I want to point out one other really nice benefit to the site. When going through the things you have for sale you can see how many snipes are set. You can't see the snipes themselves....but I know one of my items has 0 bids but there is 1 snipe and another has multiple bids and 5 snipes set.....It's a really neat feature I thought I would mention. Thanks again to those that have given GSB a try. I will update this section as I see and think of stuff that is neat.. ...best regards

Hello,

I'm intrigued by this new auction site for sports cards; it's the first I've seen of it. However, I'm having trouble searching for professionally graded cards. Somehow, someway, I managed to return only five results for graded cards (basically consisting of the ones listed in on the first page of the baseball card auctions...T206s and a Pinkerton) but I can't even recreate that search. Am I missing something? What's the best way to restrict the search to professionally graded cards?

Anyway, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the site. Would love an alternative to eBay.

Thanks for checking it out. Right now there is a bit of a lull with my technical partner away for another week. After that we should pick up some marketing activities and the site should become quite a bit more active. There have already been some nice sales and a few nice deals.

There seems to be a small glitch in that search function right now and a note has been made. We are in a last "beta" test right now, for the whole site. Even though some folks don't understand what developing a very robust software takes, we are moving along quite nicely, and will be in final production in a few weeks or so. The site is about 97% as it is....and we will knock the other 3% out very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience on this, for the moment, but it will be fixed in the near future. Please do keep checking back. We are cautiously optimistic. regards
