Re: Looking for someone with experience

I was contacted by someone who writes descriptions for auctions, who is willing to help. Appreciate the comments and offers to help.

I'd take a whack at it. I have a bachelors in journalism, so I know how to write. I'd submit it for free, you can pay a little something if you like it/ use it.

You've got me beat. I have a B.A. in Anthropology but no degree in Journalism.

I think you've found your man!

You're hired

LOL! In all seriousness, I could help write up a description. I don't have direct experience with auction house listings, but I could learn pretty quickly I'm sure. I could walk the reader through the photomatches, talk about the player's stats, etc. And I could read up on these descriptions. I'm willing to help.

The title sounded like a personal ad.

Then reduce your text size for absolutely no returns!

Sorry, forgot to add "lol"

Re: Looking for someone with experience

You just need to take a page from every auction house item description.

First, copy and paste a few hundred words from the player's Wikipedia page. Just because someone is going to drop thousands on a HOFer's item, doesn't mean they actually know who he is.

Then you'll want to state exactly what is plainly visible in the photos.

Finally, make sure to throw in stuff like "impeccable source", "best example" and "countless photo matches".

Then reduce your text size for absolutely no returns!

Great advice! Thanks!

I'm looking for someone with expereince and who is really good at writing descriptions for game used memorabilia items. Willing to pay of course for their time, but I need to ensure they have done so and are really good at doing it.
