San Diego, CA., October 23, 2001:
Since the The Auction Collector debuted in mid-September 2001 at www.thelatestandgreatest.com it has grown by leaps and bounds.
Arthur Blank, Managing Member of Technology Ventures said, "We released just after September 11th. It was a very difficult time but we were totally committed to the date. We anticipated a slow growth curve and some initial struggling. What we didn't count on was the total acceptance our group of early adopters did for us and this product. It is safe to say we are a hit! We have added some services, fixed a few issues and a couple more online auction sites."
The Auction Collector allows sellers to gather together all their online items that they can display in a nifty, easy to use, code free gizmo either on their websites, in their email, even AOL or on the item bid page of the online auction itself. Each item is an actual link to the appropriate online auction service item detail/bid page.
The standard version is only $19.95/year and the Professional version is a mere $79.95/year. Functionally the applications are the same but the PRO version gives the seller a powerful proprietary tool called "CLICK TO BID" banner and badges. These little marvels of technology can be displayed just about anywhere and are always live with the last bid, high bidder and time left in the auction. Imagine this beauty arriving in your email, one click and you are on the actual bid page for that item in the proper auction service as a pop-up above your email client program. Just brilliant!
