Since they decided this wasn't the place to advertise any longer, several months ago, I have kept up with them less. No idea....

edited to add, some nice cards in the currrent auction. I am sure I will be bidding...

A thread (like this one) pointing out an auction is probably just as good as advertising.

I would say getting your name in front of a lot of collectors every day is also good advertising. This thread will go to the second page eventually....and if I think any shenanigans are being played it will be locked. Advertisers get the benefit of the board more than non-advertisers, as it should be. Thanks for your participation too.

I'm with you, lock the shenanigan laden threads.

No idea what Leon charges for an ad, but seems awfully short sighted for a major auction not to pony up some $$ and get face time on the largest board of high end collectors on the Internet. Not only are their no banner ads but many folks will choose not to discuss auctions here that don't bother to advertise. Hard to believe its a smart business choice.

A banner ad on this site is $150 - $475 per month.

Browsing through the auction it seems many of the items have such high minimum bids you might as well call it a Buy it Now auction. Will be curious to see what happens with that Suparman piece, but starting bid 50k?

I agree- way high opening bids

[Snapolit1]

High minimim opening bids are a major turnoff. I know a hidden reserve might not be much different at the end of the day, but high openings just seem to kill an auction.
