Hello Everyone,

We have previously posted what we believe will be some of the benefits of our upcoming GUU consignment auctions.

Re: Upcoming Items - GUU Inaugural Auction

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to provide an update regarding the upcoming GUU Auction. I have to say we were overwhelmed by the number of quality items that were consigned to us. In fact, in a previous post a GUU member who came by our booth at the National wrote "I was really impressed with quality of items that they will have coming up in their auction.......that's the way a quality auction should be". On behalf of GUU, I want to personally thank everyone who entrusted their quality pieces to us and we are thrilled that we can offer these great items to the collecting community.

The auction will be going live at the end of September and the auction close date will be October 25th. We will have the bidder registration section live on the site within the next week or so. In the meantime, we have added content under the 'GUU Auctions' tab that will give members a glimpse into what is coming. Here is what you can now find in that section:

1) An "Auction Information" section that helps explain why we believe our auction truly is next generation. Here is a link to that page:

http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/lots_gallery/info.php

2) A "Lots Preview" section that has some of the items that will be in the auction. Please note that these are only a portion of the items and we will be adding more in the coming weeks. In addition, please note that the item descriptions are not included (they will be available when the auction goes live). Here is a link to the preview section:

3) A "Bidder Registration section. Once again, this will be going live in the next week or so. Until then, you can provide us your email address and we will contact you when registration is open. Here is a link to it:

http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/lots...php?register=1

4) A "Platform Preview" section that gives a glimpse into what the fully automated system and user interface will look like. Here is a link to get you there:

Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Again, please note that the items in the "Preview" section are only a small portion of the items that will be in the auction and we feel honored to be granted the privilege of offering these great items to collectors.

Sincerely,
Chris
