OK, more specifically then, check out the fibblesnork auction guide
which is linked from my site, somewhere, as well as from lugnet. It does
NOT list all sites but is a good resource to a number of the more
established ones, as well as excellent Q&A about the auction process
from both buyer and seller perspectives
See also
http://www.lugnet.com/market/auction/
which has a good list of sites. Not nearly ALL of the persistent sites,
I don't think...(1) it also does not mention the sporadic, but periodic
and well established auctions, such as Bill and Doug's and others.
1 - and that is both cool, because there are SO MANY to pick and choose
from, and bad, because there are SO MANY to try to keep track of. (2)
2 - as Todd, Eric and Chris and I discussed at dinner tonite in Waltham,
a bot that was wicked smart, understood all the site formats, especially
the smaller fan run ones, and could present you a comprehensive view
would be nice. Better still if it could manage all your IDs and allow
you to bid in a unified way, doing a translation to the specific
mechanism (mail, fill out a web page, whatever) as required to bid for
you.
Not a trivial bot. Heck, not even a hard one... at this point well nigh
impossible. But still, wouldn't it be wicked cool?
eBay (and contrary to rumor, I won't be wearing a "I love eBay" shirt
anytime soon) is actively discouraging such bots eBay? eBah is more like
it....

| (...) Actually I'm glad. One of my nightmares is a sniping 'bot which will make it impossible for normal human beings ever to win an auction. Sniping programs already exist though I don't know exactly what they do or how. Of course, eBay would (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.theory)

| (...) I think it depends how we do it. If it's another link at the bottom of the listing along with the usual 'email me, check out my website, check my other listings" links like I have on all my auctions, without a lot of song and dance, people who (...)
