Auctions on Nerd Crawler: OA auctions with no transaction fees 2 2

[nerdcrawlerdotcom]

Hey everyone! I'm the founder of Nerd Crawler, and for the past week, I've been working with Big Wow Art (rep for Frank Cho and others) to build Auctions on Nerd Crawler (https://www.nerdcrawler.com/auctions) to make it easier for him and other art reps and artists to run auctions for original art. In short, I've made Auctions on Nerd Crawler to be the opposite of eBay. Here's what that means:

- No transaction fees: while eBay takes about 15% in fees Nerd Crawler doesn’t have any transaction fees. When an auction is over, the winner and owner will receive each other’s email addresses. They can then figure out a mutually agreed upon way to handle  payment and delivery. This means no money moves through Nerd Crawler so there are no seller or buyer fees.

- A true auction model: Unlike eBay, we'll add 10 seconds to the end time whenever someone bids. This means no more auction sniping and no more bots. If someone beats your bid at the last second, it won't matter! You'll have 10 more seconds to outbid them and score your piece.

If you would like to sell on Auctions then a Founder’s Plan subscription is required. I’ve put this in place to ensure sellers are serious and to prevent fraud listing. But, assuming you’re selling a $1,000 piece, then I hope the $50/mo subscription fee is easier to swallow than eBay taking about $150 in fees per auction.

Nerd Crawler has been my passion project for the last year, helping over 400 collectors get real-time alerts when new art drops, and I’m excited to partner with Big Wow to begin a new era of the product with Auctions. There are already a few auctions running so feel free to browse and bid by clicking here: https://www.nerdcrawler.com/auctions

I would love to use this space to share new auctions and answer any feedback or questions so feel free to comment if you have any!

Question for the community: what features would you like added to Auctions on Nerd Crawler? I’m working on the next phase of the roadmap, and I’m debating between adding live chat, “ask the owner a question”, or Reddit-style commenting on auctions. Would love to hear directly from you all on what you prefer
