Boekenmagazijn 
If you look at Bonte, the items entered are almost all from 11 and 12/06/2008.
That's why official opening catalog 12/06/2008???
Someone had to find an older imported item

The oldest item is #16, but to take that as the start date.. .

According to Wikipedia:
The site went live on September 10, 2008.
Then I will be released on May 20th

I also didn't write that #16835 is the first item, but this item is the first item that Jilles entered, maybe it's the first item, who knows better ?
#12121 is an item of  Rene itself, see history, yes can't be the one with the item is listed, it first registered with Catawiki on 13.05.2008.
Greetings John.

If Wikipedia is reliable:
"The site went live on September 10, 2008. "

More specifically, according to stripschrift.nl, it was at 10:00 am .


Just as life can already be observed in people before birth, the site must also have been nourished before the opening moment. A matter of being able to start with something tangible.

But, on October 14, 2009, in a "conversation with René Schoenmakers about Catawiki. ", another time is put in the mouth of Rene...
“The site was officially launched at the end of November 2008 . Since ..."
source: https://www.frankwatching.com/nieuws/catawiki-online-collection-catalogus/

It's a "Various launch dates" event :)
It is not always obvious to determine exactly when something or someone went into the air.

Chronologically it went like this:

- In February 2008 Marco and I started with the design and construction of the site.

- At the end of February / beginning of March I started to do some different entering things to test with, including indeed this Boekenmagazijn and also some plates from a database that we were allowed to use, including this indeed Lyonesse .

- At the beginning of May, Jilles wanted to help us to test with, among other things, his own collection. He was indeed the first user besides Marco and me. Later on, Jilles also helped us a lot at trade fairs. i.a. explain to users how the site worked.

- In May and June we worked on the very extensive comics database of Bonte for which we acquired the internet rights and which formed the basis for our comics column .

- On Tuesday evening September 9, 2008 we made the website live for everyone (we were actually going to play squash that evening but ultimately preferred to open the website beforehand :-)

- The day after, on September 10, Stripschrift, magazine for comic book lovers, posted a message about the launch. That's why you come across that date Raoul62

- On September 26 the forum was ready and I placed it first forum post.

- During the Comic Strip Days on September 27 and 28, 2008, we "officially" presented the site for the comics world. We also had a booth there and we were able to get quite a few users interested in using the platform. The 27th was the date that Arco referred to for its 10th anniversary at the time. You could see it as the official date of the launch (at a fair).

- During the Collectors' Fair on November 22 and 23, 2008 we "officially" launched the site for quite a few other collecting areas. There, many users in other categories than comics were able to become interested in the platform.

If you want to take the moment when the website was first launched, you should take September 9, 2008 lordernie

I can still remember walking past your stall and taking a small brochure with me '-) In the years since, I have also manned the larger, professional stand with you. It was fun to do.
