Some members who have been with us for a long time may remember that at one stage, several years ago, we had an auction site of our very own, which we called TrannyBay. The idea was that if you had some shoes or a dress or a make-up kit or whatever, that was surplus to requirement, you could put the items on TrannyBay and other members would bid on them until a winner was declared, just like eBay.
Those who decided to purge suddenly had a place to sell their wardrobe instead of sending a small fortune in clothes to land fill, which would have been a terrible waste. They were also able to make some money.
Well, I've been thinking that maybe we should try this again so I want to hear your opinions. Of course, if you think it'll be a turkey then we won't bother, but with the holiday season just around the corner, this could be a good time to try it.
So, what do you think? Should we add an auction to the site's existing features? Would you use it to buy or to sell or both or not at all?
You decide!
Thanks, Katie x
Great idea, massive apeal, selective stock. . . . . but little take up i think for obvious reasons !. . . . . . still saying that ide buy and sell, Just a thought what about a (Freebe section) postage only if its not been done ?
Wanted : a short Denim jacket size 12 ! for starters
Got to be worth a try, I think.
Couldn't hurt,Katie. It sure is better than throwing everything away.
I think it's an awesome idea
Sounds fairly unanimous so far. It will cost a fair amount to buy and implement the software for this so I'm not going into it lightly. I want to make sure you will all actually use it or ther will be no point. As usual I look to the membership for guidance.
Shall I go ahead and set up T-Bay?
Hugs, Katie x
Yes good idea Katie
Don't worry Catherine. T-Bay is only available to our members and not to the wider world.
Hugs, Katie x
Hi Katie.
How do you pay?
Will it go through PayPal?
Will there be a rating scheme?
What protections can we be sure of?
