Double-booking Auctions

[Mac Man]

Just wondering if it's allowable to list a comic in, say, both eBay AND ComicLink at the same time? There's a book I'm looking at (higher dollar value), but just found out it's double-booked. Just wondering if 1. that's allowable and 2. if anyone else would find this at all strange? :shrug:

I don't think it's against the rules but it would be frowned on by CLINK (or whomever) I would think.

I don't find it strange at all. The best way to sell a book is to give it high visibility. I see nothing wrong with it - unless one of the venues specifically says that a book must be exclusive to their site.

It sucks when it sells on eBay and they never bother to go back and pull it off CLINK (or wherever) though.

[Mac Man]

Yeah, pretty much... well, I guess I'll keep an eye on it, but who knows.

Each consignor allows different things. You should check on the consignment agreements for each place before deciding to do one thing or another. I dont think any consignor allows you to put something up on ebay concurrent with a listing on their site however.

I think one can list on Comiclink, while having it in one's store, or convention table. As for store, yes, from what I know, an eBay store is OK, but they have to be at the same price. Or the listing on the broker site can not be more.

And yes, one should de-list as soon as it is sold.

 

So if one has a an Action # 1, one could list it on both for the same price, and which ever one does the trick, salute.

Sorry. I meant to say on ebay for auction. I dont think Comiclink lets you put a book on their site and another consignment site such as Pedigree however.

Yeah, it's listed as an auction on eBay but is also listed on C-Link. I spoke to the owner, and he said he was planning on deleting the C-Link listing after the eBay one closes out. I guess if he gets a non-paying bidder, he can direct them to the C-Link listing.
