My Auction is out of seller now: 1 major seller is ending this week. The other have 2.5 weeks remain.
Where I can find sellers?
I don't want to be a mailbomber, or directly contact decondelite's sellers, which would be very rude. I don't desire profit that hard.
what else can I do?

My recommendation: if there are no more sellers or items to sell, you should stop having auctions. At least temporarily, until you have items again.
The alternative: your auction is basically a competitor of decondelite's auction. So you need to attract his clients (or Superlatanium or Kedama sellers) to you in a natural way. How can you do that?
1) Raise the sell price of your auction items. This is decondelite's philosophy. 2) Lower the fee you charge to sellers. Actually you already have the lowest fees, so I don't recommend this one to you, it's just for thinking purposes. 3) Make the rules of your auction clearer, and make it easier to read. I think probably most people don't read your rules, and they didn't even know you have the lowest fees.
Perhaps for a limited time, just for simplicity, you should just provide the auction with NO fees. This is a common business tactic. After you get people to like your auction, and have the chance to make your rules and appearance better, then you can start to charge fees.

Find and ask other's comment about your auction, and try to understand what's in your potential customer's mind: https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?s=&am...t&p=5214791Since you may compete with decon's auction, imho your auction certain has it advantages: with utilized auction system, script and layout, your auction can easily display >1000 Equips from few/several players which looks like "large junkyard" with very long auction period(or even permanent just as replacing their little WTS post), just because you don't hold their equips, sellers hold their own. But such idea really need hard working on your layout design and how you manage a lot lot of Equip: it is rather easy for seller to register their bunch of equip, but more important thing is how you manage the equip list and help low level players get very cheap Equip easily. If you developed good enough auction environment, sellers will just come and try with only a little effort. And more transaction will be made certainly. Well that's just my point of view on your auction system, you can decide what is your target market and customer yourself. Edit: Some players including myself have suggested you open a new post in The HentaiVerse Chat about your auction as other 3 auction did, you can ask and get feedback directly instead of doing it in any post.

Maybe you want to make a new post first to gather all opinions in one place.

mostly agree. but I start this base on the doubt of high pricing. It's easy to raise the price, but it's unfair. which I totally disagree. In fact it's worthless to higher price sth in low level. rather than get maybe 100-200k 20% profit on a drop/20-30days equip, change your suit to higher the level and fight a higher diffcutity worth more. but it's hardly possible to do if everyone trying to oversell their stuff. I disagree with deco's business faint, that's my whole reason to start the business, so I'm not following his step.

For one thing, most sellers don't give a f about your philosophy. Sellers who send you items are not doing a charity or something. You need to think about your what your clients want rather than what you have in your mind. It might not be a business to you, but it definitely is to the sellers. For another, I doubt you have as much experience about the market and all different categories of equipments as decondelite does. Some of them are underpriced since auction is a place where buyers can get items they want as quickly as possible. They should pay a bit more than market prices to get access to good services in several days.

My advice: keep going, with some minor improvements: 1. Make a thread where you announce that you accept items. Like the other auctions have. 2. Make rules SIMPLE 3. Make rules in easy to read English (get help if needed) 4. Make rules in 1 color 5. Make rules short 6. Make rules even more simple 7. Repeat from 2.

Because he wanted to, and that's pretty enough for a reason. There is no monopoly on auctions here.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't like his tone either way.

I haven't asked you anything. And certainly not that kind of unpleasant comment. QUOTE(anruiersi @ Aug 11 2018, 14:54)  I guess he just means business is business, don't take it personal. Am I right?
1) Applejack's cutie mark 2) Time to stop talking about such matters here, that's not the place for that. Check your PMs please, thanks.

I don't care what you've asked for. If you don't know what a free speech is - go google it. And you have no right talking about "unpleasant comments" while doing unpleasant comments by yourself. Got it? This post has been edited by Evil Scorpio: Aug 11 2018, 16:36
