News Bid4figures.com - Register Now

www.bid4figures.com

Here it is! My friend set this site up to encourage a community setting for auctions.

There is plenty of fan-sites, archives, bulletin boards, and such on the web, but there is no auction site that he knows about to help offer an alternative to ebay.

So, he's hoping to make this his contribution to the toy lovers of the world.

bid4figures.com is a free auction site targeted at collectors of various toy lines from the many different collecting communities, some of which we all have been a part of for some years.

If we can all sign up and support this joint venture, then we will at least give ourselves a platform for an alternative instead of using ebay

Thumbs up Thanks!

Thanks for your registrations, I too definately hopes this takes off, we all believe surely that ebay needs at least an alternative right?
I hope to see many other action figure fans on there too, we could help each other initiate our wants via joe dios to the site. So for example if you see something on someones wanted list and see it on the bid site, let them know about it.

I'm listing some BINs now, but I'm also listing some low price $2 auctions as well.

Sounds interesting. I don't use eBay anymore, too many bad experiences.

I registered. This sounds like a very good alternative to grEEdbay. eBay was once good, back in the late 90's and up to 2001 or so. It jumped the shark a few times now.

I have some things to list. Are there no fees at all? That is great. It will be easier to list things fairly priced when you don't have to markup 42.5% to break even from eBay and PayPal fees.

I tried to Register but it keeps saying,"Incorrect Date Format". The only Date on there is the Birth Date,and it has--(dd-mm-yyyy).So I put it in as-05-??-1970,but I put the real Day down and it's 2 numbers,so I don't know what the deal is????

Thumbs up Fees explained.

Hi,
I'll try and answer some questions here for you about the site. To list an item with a picture you dont pay a single $.
Infact if you select M/O or personal cheque as your payment method, then you'll get the profit from your sales.

The only fees your likely to be charged will be if you have paypal as a payment option, (I have this for all my transactions). So you will be charged by paypal for receiving money (payments). Essentially though, the site doesnt charge you picture or listing / gallery fees like evilbay.. and it's only focused on action figures/collectables from the toylines we all collect.. GIJOE, Action Force, Star Wars, Transformers, DC, Marvel, Wrestling.. as much as we can get on there... so the main focus on the site is everything we're interested in..

I really do hope that everyone at least gives this a shot.. with the amount of money and advertising and promotional help ebay has, it's unlikely that we'll get the full support they get, but as I mentioned from the outset, the site focuses soley on our own communities for action figure collecting.

If anyone else has any more questions, please fire them here or by pm if I dont know the answer, I can email Scott and ask him directly. Signing up is Free, Also Listing is Free.. the only thing you'll lose out on is time.. Come on give it a go!!
