New Auction?

Using a scanner instead of what looks like a cellphone camera, shadows included, for images of lots might engender less skepticism.

It is just the preview up now. Maybe better pictures and some back scans will be posted before bidding starts. I certainly hope so.

Also seems strange that they would pay to advertise here but not respond to the thread.

Sorry, but I find it funny that any of you think he needs your permission to start an auction company. Anyone can do it and that is when you will find out if they are any good or not. End.

where did anyone say he needed permission? but if you think an auction house that for the most part remains anonymous on its website isn’t a questionable move in today’s environment, then you have my permission to live dangerously. i for one wish Aaron the best of luck on his auction house and in his extended travels.

I'm curious as to who this statement is directed towards. I saw no one state anyone needs our permission to start an auction house.

My comment simply stated I find it odd they'd pay to advertise yet haven't commented on this thread, which could basically be free advertisement.

I agree I was thinking I blew it, I should've started anonymously for the free advertising!

I don't use my scanner but does it take longer to scan a card and upload it than it does to take a picture with an iphone 5 and upload it?

Perhaps slightly longer. There is the extra step of sending it from the scanner to a computer and then posting. The iPhone picture can go straight to the website.

Or they might still be shopping around for the right scanner.

My scanner saves directly to the computer, no sending it required at all.

My phone... No idea. I take pictures with it, but generally have to hook it to the computer with a USB wire to get the pics into the computer.

Marginally, but the trade off in quality is more than worth it, especially now-a-days when people understandably want to see great detail even in the graded cards.

given the choice of camera phone photos or no photos at all, bidders prefer camera phone photos.
