Maybe it is possible to organize a low-budget auction once within the existing categories? By this I mean an auction in which items can be offered that do not reach the minimum amount of 75 euros (is of course possible)

I can imagine that less fortunate collectors or starting collectors would also like to buy a nice item to 'win' at an auction.

Great idea! Once per quarter? It attracts more public and therefore watch the other auctions. Expect a stampede from providers, given the range in the shops

I can not imagine anything here, there are enough items for a reasonable price.

but also many items that I think ?? Nice for the auction, but the price is still high.

I don't think it's a good idea

Nice idea! Keep in mind that if it attracts a lot of people, there will be more bidders. At an auction it is also the case that the price still goes up.

In the past CataWiki also advertised auctions from 1 euro! So they secretly got away from it slowly. There usually always appears to be a bidder.

Furthermore, contributors nowadays always have to pay, I believe, so the contribution will then be disappointing if the proceeds are also lower.

Providers of lots pay a commission. This has not changed since the start of the auctions.

@disney

what a sour reaction the set-up of the auction has not changed

almost everything starts at 1 euro

you didn't think seriously that something would go away for 1 euro, did you?

there is always someone who offers more

@ pureveensboeken

I don't agree with you, last month I did buy something for 1 euro at a toy auction.

I would be more inclined to an auction "everything that auctioneers get their noses for" for items that can easily reach the € 75.00 limit but that you will not find anywhere.

@funny readers

There are already plenty of low budget offers on the web. Moreover, there are more than enough of them within the shops.

Catawiki can only distinguish and profile itself in one way and that is by offering quality at the auctions.

So I am absolutely against it the proposal of low budget auctions.

I don't need another Marketplace in the Netherlands.

@puurveensboeken says it very nicely: "let's keep the auctions serious."

But the low-budget auctions don't have to be auctions with bad lots? The only drawback is that at an auction the price cannot always be kept low.

There only need to be 2 people who want something and then the price goes up! For that reason it is not possible, I think, to organize a low-budget auction (=auction of lots with low yields).

However, there are other options for organizing a low-budget auction. CataWiki would then have to set up a different kind of auction system, because there are also auctions that go down from a certain amount (flower auctions and house auctions). Maybe a nice idea to bid down and then start high?

And Marktplaats isn't that crazy after all (at least that's what I heard, because I haven't sold/buyed anything there yet).

@ DisneyMeentwijck Maybe a nice idea to bid down and then start high?

Will the sellers get a subsidy? and if the proceeds are too low, it will be destroyed.

Please leave the auctions as they are, there are certainly plenty of bargains to be had.

My opinion is that the auctions should become more expensive and less rubbish, which I also contribute and not offer a mess.

For a budget auction you just go to the market or to the internet wherever a lot is offered on various second-hand websites

What one finds garbage, another collects! So it is very subjective, it always remains what 'the fool' gives for it. Sometimes you have a windfall and sometimes something unexpected can be very rewarding.

Low budget shouldn't mean 'junk'.

You can (for comics) organize an auction with a lot of quality but with albums that do not yield 75 euros.

a lots : very nice condition of albums but probably not worth 75 euros.

b lots : rare/expensive items in a lesser condition

More strips of - 75 euros are traded than + 75 euros. If you clearly indicate that "low budget" is the theme auction, no one can confuse it with the other auctions. No danger of 'not serious' holding the regular auctions.

But this is a collector's point of view, I don't have to earn anything from it, I'm just looking for a lot of albums that don't end up on auction. I wouldn't mind if that were possible.
