New Auction Site Link, tons of old PJ Stuff?

pjtaper

Am I allowed to post a link to an auction site that has a ton of Pearl Jam older posters? Most are under currently selling for under $100, the site has very detailed pictures, I work for this auction company and personally ship all the prints... The PJ prints are from a consignor who had some unexpected med bills come up, has to sell some of his older prints...

pjtaper

Hmm... how do I make a poll, so we can vote if I'm allowed to or not... almost 30 views, no responses... auction ends soon

Yes Then it will get closed Why ask?

pjtaper

I read the rules, I'm not sure if it's allowed or not... posting a link to an item on ebay, not allowed.. selling something in this forum and asking people to post their bids, not allowed... links to an auction site, unclear.

pjtaper

so, I'm thinking it's ok to post a link to the site, just not a specific item... hmmmmmmmmmmmpf

Mods, please delete this if it isn't allowed...

Wow, some rare posters in there....I am impressed at the high bid right now for the 98 East Lansing poster, considering the staple holes and all. Makes my mint poster look that much better

my virgin eyes are ok with seeing that...

pjtaper

well, I guess posting it was ok, thanks for looking guys!
If you are signing up, use me as a reference... Taper or Merrick... or you can say you saw it on here.
Also, remember shipping is free, and I ship all the art, and a lot of the cards too

i signed up, bidded on multiple items. i didnt understand the ''extended bidding time' at the end. felt like it was a soccer match. never did care for soccer. either way, hope it helped your friend out.

I am glad you raised money for a friend but that had to be the worst auction site I've ever been on. They timer was stuck at 14:58 for about 2 hours and then the auctions closed. I didn't bid because of this. There was a lot of great prints but the bidding process was terrible. Again...glad to see that you did raise some funds though.

Thanks for the heads up on this.... I got my hands on the Hartford 96 poster which was a huge deal for me.

I sold mine that I had picked up at the show about 10+ years ago when bills got tight. Glad to have it back!!

Now if I only had the Boston 98 and Hartford 98 posters back too that would be supa dupa, but at least I will have the 2 posters from the 2 shows I went to!

Definately wasn't a fan of the whole 15 minute thing, but I understand why its done and there must have been lots of bids going on because it kept resetting.

Bidding finished at $355?? :shock: I might have to put mine in an even better frame and show it off on the main floor of my house instead of keeping it hidden away in the finished basement.

The extended bidding went on for over 6 hrs

Won't be rushing back to that site. Pitiful

I bid and had to return time and time again, it's an awful auction site, I won't be bidding again there.

I kinda dig it. I think next time I am getting my bid in early and whatever happens happens. There were some great deals on that site depending on what you are looking for.

Guys, please try to keep the insults to a minimum.. i'm glad the only complaints I see are due to extended bidding... I've talked to the owner of Small Traditions about it, many auction sites do it, this is the first I've heard of it and prefer not having it.. but it gives people all over the world a chance to bid, and has several other benefits the customers like... But please try to be nice, I spent a TON of time putting this auction together, getting everything organized, helping my buddy get his art in, to see "this site sucks" is a bit upsetting, ya know?
Thank you guys for looking, for those of you who liked it, please come back, from those of you who did not, there is always eBay.

understand what you are saying, and I think all are delighted that your friend did so well in the auctions.......must have raised a good chunk towards what he needs.

The site just seemed to make no sense, and auctions like that are best avoided. No one had a clue when an item would end, or if their bid was good enough.....it just went on and on.

Each to their own but IMO an end time should mean just that, and people around the world have plenty of time to submit their bid before the end time. Im not sure how constant 15 minute extensions really helps with that.

Anyway, congrats on running that auction - the rules are not yours, and I think its more than fair to say what you did was stellar.
