Whybidmore Collectibles Auction, a fast growing free online collectibles auction and collectibles-related website directory.
May 23, 2003 (Press Release) --
May 24, 2003 Kensington, MD -- Whybidmore Collectibles Auction, a rapidly-expanding free collectibles auction and directory is poised for popularity.
Whybidmore.com was created by Dr. Christopher LaBuda, who has been an avid collector of sports cards, autographs and related memorabilia for over 15 years. Offering collectibles auctions in over thirty categories and well over 300 sub-categories, Whybidmore.com presents a temptation to even the smallest collector, dealer and vendor. The site offers visitors a collectibles forum, free specialty auctions and the chance to find and purchase that one-of-a-kind item without the need for monthly membership fees.
“The escalating costs of online auctions have made it very difficult to sell items and make any money.” says LaBuda. His first-hand experience with online auction sites has made him well aware of the costs involved to sell an item. “I was forced to re-list an item three times because the reserve was not met. At a cost of over $7.00 per listing and a $149 reserve, 20% of the final bid will have to cover listing fees. When the final value fees are added, I stand to lose almost $30 on the item – if it sells”.
Dr. LaBuda also created Whybidmore.com in answer to what he realized was a lack of quality collectibles resource websites. “We are actively seeking the best websites online today that offer items similar to those available in our own auction categories.”
Dr. LaBuda plans to attract the attention of other companies that use online auctions to introduce themselves to new customers. His method? Aggressive advertising, along with cutting-edge additions in the near future. “We plan to add several interactive components to Whybidmore, including a wide selection of collectibles articles, price guides, and a chat room periodically hosted by collectibles experts. Our goal is to become the leading online resource for collectibles.”
With a directory of almost 1600 websites and a target of 5000 by year’s end, LaBuda and Whybidmore.com are indeed a rare, valuable, and welcome addition to the world of online auctions.
