Really? I have just the opposite opinion. I will use AucZILLA's web
interface to scan for pieces I'm interested in, but then I will use the
e-mail interface to watch & bid on those items.
The only way I'd use a web-based bidding interface (AucZILLA doesn't have
one yet, right?) is if it could show all my watched items on one form, and
I could mark all new bids in a single shot, then click "submit". For parts
auctions, I will not work through a single form for each lot. Too
time-consuming.
I really feel the same way about all online auctions. My desired interface
will send me updates I can just glance at quickly. It will also give me a
list of 'watched' items, allow me to enter new bids, and submit them all at
once.
BTW, I *hate* the accumulated delay imposed by every link clicked on web
pages. One five-to-thirty second delay is no big deal. But when they
start piling up, I get annoyed.
It doesn't help that most web-based 'interfaces' suck.
