Adult Industry Auctions is now free.

Hey guys. I just got Adult Industry Auctions up and running about two weeks ago. I just noticed the other night that there were some issues with the script. I moved it to another server and got it up and running again last night. It is running perfectly now.

I also have decided to make this auction site a free service. There are now no fees envolved at all. All you have to do is register and you're free to buy, sell, and even swap goods and services having to do with our industry.

I wanted to share a couple hints/tips with you. They are common sense for the most part, but I figured I'd post them anyways:

1) When creating an auction, make sure you start it off with a low starting bid. It's better to start out lower than higher. An auction that has a starting bid of $1 will get much more attention and bids than one starting at $1000.

2) Protect yourself with a reserve auction. A reserve is the minimum amount of money you will accept for your auction. For example, if you are selling an item/service that you would not take less than $200 for; when you create your auction make sure you set the reserve amount at $200. After the auction is over, if the highest bid is less than $200, you don't have to sell it.

3) Do you want to sell multiple items/services? If you do, then you want to start a dutch auction. A dutch auction allows people to bid and win on multiple items/services in the same auction. If you are just selling a single item or service then you should just have a standard auction.

4) Let people know about your auctions! Feel free to make relevant posts on message boards with a link to your auctions. You could even have a link to you auctions in your sig. The more people that know about your auctions, the better your chances are at having successful and more profitable auctions.

5) This script uses proxy bidding, just like eBay. When you place a bid on an item/service, you will be asked what your maximum bid is. The script will then automatically outbid other bidders on your behalf until your maximum bid has been reached.

6) You can swap items/services instead of placing a normal bid, if the seller of the auction has enabled the swap feature. You can offer the seller an item/service of your own as a bid, instead of a dollar amount. If the seller likes what you have to offer, he has the option to end the auction and you will be the winner.
