NEW MLB auctions

[jwal23]

Wasn't sure if a thread had been started on this or not but I got this email today about MLB launching a new auction site and wanted to give everyone a heads up...I'm looking forward to seeing what the mobile version is like and also like the fact that they've finally added a zoom feature....here's the email I got...

Dear Jace,

Hi. I wanted to let you know that on Thursday, March 20th at 10am est MLB Auctions will be launching a new auction site. The look and feel will be similar to MLB Shop, but with an auction stamp! Below, are some highlighted new features:

-video can be included in each listing
-auction listings images will have zoom feature
-customers will have the option to post any listings directly to their social media accounts (Face Book, Twitter)
-MLB Auctions will have a mobile site and bidding will now be easier from your phone!
-After the initial launch some new auction functionality will be added, which will include "group buying" and "Bid or Buy."

All customers will be able to login to the auction site if they have a MLB.com user name created. All credit card information will have to be re-entered. NO data from the old site will be transferred.

Do you know if it will be accessable through the team web sight like they are now ? The Pirates page is dwindling down to just baseball cards right now .

I can't say 100% for sure but I would assume they would...It looks like they set almost every single auction to end tonight on the 19th so that when the new site launches tomorrow they will have all new listings with the better searching options

I dont think the site doesn't looks any different, but all the listings are gone

To my understanding its a totally new site. Not the same address.

Also I don't think the new one is live yet.

I emailed MLB Auctions to see if they have an ETA for it to be live. They are usually fast to reply...I will update with any info they give.
