Hi Guys,
I own AeroBid. I appreciate your suggestions and to increase the
value behind your auctions we have enabled free relisting. This means
that if your item does not sell - it will be relisted for free until
it sells (for as long as it may take). Also, our basic auction
listing is free - the only cost is if you want your listing to appear
enhanced.
Anyhow - I do understand the struggle between us and eBay. We just
started out business 6 months ago. eBay has been around for 12
years. We hope that you will sup****t our business idea as we sup****t
the aviation community by sponsoring AOPA, Aviation Podcasts (Finer
Points and soon Uncontrolled Air Space) and local air shows and fly
ins.
AeroBid is growing - we have recently had three business jets listed
along with various airplane parts.
Please let me know, how we can be of better service to you. Our fees
are half of what eBay charges and with a free basic listing model and
the free relisting offer I think that we offer more in terms of long
term value.
Thank you,
Sasa Pocek
