@Nick: The same thing you're now reporting to stock market traders can also bother smaller sellers. After all, it is something you just have to think about when you sell a stack of comics outside of CW. Don't know if you can solve that just like that. And a "timer" on items in a shop is not really user-friendly either. One of the most annoying features of Marktplaats is that you have to offer everything again every so many months. A lot of work that shouldn't be necessary. Speurders is doing better, but it is not ideal either.

@ René: as long as it is not too much work, I think it is fine, otherwise I will drop out and go back to Marktplaats. I am not a large provider, but I am not looking for extra work either. This was precisely one reason to mainly use Catawiki.

@BigBadWolf. That is the essence of trading, on a small or large scale. That is where the necessary energy creeps into it. It is not just taking an action once and then I sit in your seat and wait for the money to come in.

When I look at Marktplaats, I am really not interested in the things that are already months up. If they've been on it for months, they just don't care. That's why Ebay is doing so badly at the moment. Most of the items have been on it for months or years. At very high prices. They will still be there.

Greetings,

Nick.

ps. the discussion was actually about adding photos. Yesterday I was looking for a number of rare comics on Catawiki. How I search: search by title, view photos, no photo = no interest. Don't even bother asking a question anymore. Like me, there are currently more interested buyers around.

The trade-off that must be made between making photos mandatory for all sellers - possibly significantly less active sellers - and only making photos mandatory for more expensive items - therefore significantly fewer real sales - is hereby very well endorsed.

The sellers who (almost) do not include photos with their items will feel this increasingly strongly in their turnover.

Whether it concerns one or two images depends on the category and we look at the number of mandatory images when adding to the catalog. For comics, for example, it is mandatory to add 2 own images (preferably front and back) to items with a retail price of 75 euros or more. For example, 1 image is mandatory for stamps.

I have just read again

In the lp / CD category 1 scan is sufficient although we are talking about 2 things cover and carrier.

But sugar bags 2 scans and they probably will not exceed 75 €

(the desert is endless when you call out)

And another miss Dick.

Sugar packets is 1 scan! Although I would like 2, because the back is just as important. Were it not for the fact that there are wrappers that do not have a back .....

I understood then that you do! This is indeed a mistake, but don't ask me from whom

And the catalog is becoming less and less a reliable source and that is very unfortunate

but sales are going well what more could you want?

No income without trade. But the reliability of the catalog is not too bad.

I am more concerned about the supply that is not listed with the correct item. Has the wrong condition. That grows every day and the sellers don't mind :-(

I agree with that income. Wrong items / conditions is also my annoyance and I always indicate I am talking about 1 item which always consists of 2 parts (cover and plate) and I assumed that the 2 scan was mandatory for sugar bags. Also with postcard. I often find the input fields too informal! Dimensions in cm can still be a mandatory field if necessary with standard dimensions! Hence my reaction is approaching the end of the year and I had always understood with those mandatory scans at more than 75 € to put items up for sale, display them correctly and Rene does not say that! (And I had not read that correctly at the start!) And that sellers are not happy will certainly not always be the case! But a little more effort from that side wouldn't be wrong.

It shouldn't be difficult to do 2 scans, except if wrapper is filled in, (that is a mandatory field) you can just make immediately! And that doesn't deter users from those scans

It is not a priority. I was told that they would see if it could be done, then nothing more was heard about it. But even that I understand, there will not really be much trade in the sugar sachets.

How many sugar sachets are actually for sale and approximately at what price? Just asked the question out of interest. Just took a look and saw not much for sale, except for one for 0.1 €.

2 scans of one sugar bag? Inside and outside?

Nick.

No idea how many are for sale. But price varies from 0.01 to 5 €

And front and back huh. Like strips, many bags are the same, but a different pressure, so to speak. And for that you need the back, just like with comics.

So these are fairly small amounts, but for a buyer, that second scan or photo can indeed be a source of information. But then of course you have to set the bar for all items for sale on Catawiki. Not that I have any problems with that. If you have something for sale, just post a photo or two if the second photo has interesting information.

For example, what strikes me at the Catawiki Comic Auction (sorry am a comic collector) is that some sellers (who have a leading role) systematically withhold photos of interesting information. As being the back, for example. If the spine is beautiful, there is a photo with it, the spine has been updated, no photo. If anyone of the administrators is interested, I would like to post a number of examples, but then of course I will stamp the relevant sellers in the shins (not that I worry about that).

For me as a buyer is the rule still, the more info and the more pictures, the more I am inclined to buy, many sellers are not aware of that yet. Not difficult otherwise. Some do that very well, others deliberately keep information behind and you have to guess ...

Nick.

ps. and you have classy ones among the sellers. Just gave a feedback to a seller I bought an item from at the auction. That was pure class "all the way".

According to the homepage, there are currently 1,769 sugar sachets for sale.

And if you click Marktplaats you can see that the most expensive ones cost 20 euros (although it might as well have been twenty thousand, that price is completely out of the blue).

For existing items of 75 euros or more in shops, there is until the end of the year to add the mandatory images. We will notify the appropriate sellers.

I don't remember ever getting a message about this. Anyone else?

@ Nick4u So these are fairly small amounts, but for a buyer that second scan or photo can indeed be a source of information.

It is not only for the quality of the item, but really just for identification. I also collect reprints of some comic series. They are usually not that expensive and many sellers think: it is only a reprint, so I plump it with any issue, who cares. But in that case it makes a difference to me which reprint it is about. And asking questions of sellers ... painful thing in most cases.

@Nick

And Catawiki still pretends to be a catalog, so the information must be complete and correct whether they are for sale or not.

And if you click on Marktplaats looks you see that the most expensive costs 20 euros (although it might as well have been twenty thousand, that price is completely out of the blue).

Yep, prospectors have you everywhere, and catawiki is (unfortunately) already attracting more.

There are more than 100,000 different sugar sachets in the Netherlands alone.

Most of them are worth no more than 10 cents and they must also be in good condition.

So no stains, no pieces off or crumpled.

On the back, however, may be slightly damaged, because many bags have been neatly glued.

A fairly small number of items must be probably more, sometimes a lot more, because it is a very old, or rare or for special reasons loved and sought after bag or wrapper.

I have had banana boxes full of sugar bags and wrappers. All selected and sorted with great pleasure. Most of them sold per orange box on the basis of 1 to 2 cents each.

And sent lots of free lots to a number of good countrymen asking if they could be imported. Jilles, Lobbes and Frazerco were willing to do this and did it very professionally!

For the record: I don't collect sugar sachets, but I do think it is kind of a sport to update the themes for the sugar sachets.

Indeed, if Catawiki wants to be a catalog, all information must be correct, whatever its value may be. Think it's funny, now I'm in a sugar sachet discussion, but hey, that doesn't matter. Completeness and recognisability is the message.

Nick.
