Hello everyone! The Vesper Auction will be one year old on Saturday, August 16th! I've been considering making some changes to the auction and I'd like YOUR input!

Please select all the boxes you like.

I've considered charging 10% of sale price for sold items. Nearly all auctions do this. Proceeds from this charge would go back into auction giveaways and player events. Currently these are funded out of my own pocket and from player donations, which are infrequent and unpredictable.

I'd like to hold mini-contests during the auction (trivia, deal or no deal, etc.). Do you like these or find them disruptive? (And to be clear: if you want more contests and prizes I am going to have to charge for sales... I love you guys but I'm not going to go broke entertaining you! :p)

Many auctions have a list ahead of time of the items that will be up for auction. This would require more work on my part, but might attract more buyers for desirable items if people know they will be there. How do you feel about the possibility of having a list beforehand of what will be at the auction?

What gave you the impression I was going to be helpful? :p

(Sper's known me for millennia, he probably knew my vote before Ivy thought of the options)
