All GUU Auction Items in 'Preview' - Bidding to Start Shortly

[ChrisCavalier]

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to provide an update to make sure everyone knew the GUU Auction items, including images and full descriptions, are now available for viewing on the site in the 'GUU Auctions' tab under 'Auction Home Page'. For your convenience, here is a link to the page:

http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/auction/

Please note that you can ask questions about any of the items by contacting us directly or by clicking on the "Click here to view public forum discussion of item" on any item description page. When you click on the link it will take you to a thread created for that item where you can ask questions. As you can see, some members have already taken advantage of this feature and have asked questions that can be found in this folder.

We will also be opening the auction for bidding shortly. As I mentioned in a previous thread, while everything looks great, we wanted to do some last checks with the software to make sure everything is functioning perfectly in the live environment. This is an extra precaution we are taking since the software was custom built and this is the first time it is being used. The auction should be open for bidding in the next day or so and we will let everyone know when it is open. Once again, given the auction closes on October 25th, there should be plenty of time to place bids on items you are interested in.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. As you can hopefully tell from the 'Preview' area, we are thrilled to offer so many incredible items with a great deal of variety to meet the interests of different types of collectors.

Sincerely,
Chris Cavalier

One thing I did notice that would make commenting more convenient would be if there was a comment replies column listed on the actual auction page. Unless I'm missing something, the only way to know there is a thread with comments on the item (from the actual auction page) is to click on the View Discussion button. I'm constantly switching from the actual auction forum to the auction thread list to read what someone's comments are and compare to the photos. Unless you know there is a thread started on an item, from the actual auction page you have to click on the item's View Discussion button to find out if there has been any comments made on the item.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but a little counter next to the View Discussion button would tell you if there have been comments made on the item. Just an idea. Otherwise the layout and format looks great!!!
