New pipe auction website
Pipe-Auctions.com
quote: I just wanted to let everyone know that we are ready to allow listing of items. If you want to run tests of the system please put (TEST) in the title line of the item you are putting up and make it clear that it is a test.
If the object is really going up for sale please put your minimum at the level that you would like for the pipe as it is clear there is a small amount of registered users right now. You can also set up your items as "buy it now" with whatever price you want for them.
Additionally you can begin setting up stores and placing items in them. It's a good opportunity if you sell pipes but not on Ebay to put them all in one place and refer people who may be interested in your pipe to it. Who knows they may just decide they like another one of yours.
I have automatic re listing set to 15 times now so you can automatically relist the same item 15 times. Additionally if you have a item listed here and it sells elsewhere just let me know and we can get the item canceled (at this point I am not sure if you can cancel the auction yourself or not).
If you find any bugs in the software please let me know at this email address or via PM at SF. Other than that my work will continue on the site, but it needs to be tested before we make announcements on all the other forums.
Oh and because I have been asked what the fees are several times and if a credit card was required...
IT IS 100% FREE TO SELL AND BUY. There are no fees.
No we do not require a credit card to set up a selling account.
Feel free to ask me any questions that arise. You can post them in this thread, PM me or send them to my email address (which will be changing shortly).
Cheers
This project was started in response to Ebay changing their rules. Many of my friends feel like the rule change is threatening the hobby. So I made a auction website. Pipes, Cigar stuff, snuff, tobacco processing whatever it's all welcome there.

Re: New pipe auction website
Great to see this.
Thanks for the heads up.
It sounds like Ebay has gotten too big for it's britches.

Re: New pipe auction website
I just think that it is imperative that we do not let Ebay dictate how we will participate in our hobby.
I want to make sure everyone knows this is a noncommercial venture. It's free. If you like the idea feel free to spread the word. Heck there are already a couple items posted for sale now.
Cheers

Re: New pipe auction website
Thanks Mr. C.....I'm registered and will be looking at putting a few pipes up for sale. This should work out to be a great service to the piping community.

I'm registered as well (having read it "elsewhere").

Re: New pipe auction website
Just registered and bookmarked it. Looks like a great idea.
Reading at SF I saw (if I remember right) that you're in the Phoenix area? We have pipe club meetings the last Thursday of each month at Ye Olde Pipe, shoot me a PM and I'll get you the details if you're interested. Or heck if you'd like to meet sometime for a smoke I'd be interested. Always fun to meet new pipesmokers.
