Problem with auction platforms, is there's not a huge market for auction platforms.

You do know that "that other place" is owned by this place?

I don't know what kotc bids on at the place that auctioneers cigars, but I didn't notice any obviously new prices... The Tampa place had a couple of offensive starting prices though, so I'm guessing that's what kotc was talking about..

I would say it's more likely they sourced it to a local development company, then just had them re-purpose the codebase for the new site.

No need to feel duped as it appears the guys you didn't like got replaced with the guys you do.

Happens...

I suppose the guys that you don't like could have found the devs for the people you do like and had them resell them the same software... but I think that would have likely ended with a cease and desist to the bad guys... in which case the site would not look like it currently does.

Oh, and I found and article confirming the acquisition...

Interesting....I assumed he was talking about a place with a cigar auctioneer....which is, I think, very different from this place

They seem to be doing some experimenting with starting prices....some quite high..some not so much...I 'accidentally' won nearly $500 worth over the last couple weeks
