Lubbock Auction Items
Several weeks ago, I offered up an item to auction for the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. However, the auction at the annual Lubbock Business Expo didn't go over like the planners had anticipated, and they stopped the auction.The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce has decided to auction off the items using Parker Auctions, who appears to be a private auctioneer. My major concern with Parker Auctions doing the auction is the fact that there is a 10% fee to the high winner. What? A 10% fee? That's crazy. eBay has no fees for buyers, neither does Yahoo Auctions or pretty much any other Internet auction site that I know of. The credit card fees are 3% at most, I would imagine. So what are the other fees for Parker Auctions? Hosting / traffic? Maybe $5 for all of the auctions at the high end. I am aware that someone needs to get paid (and Walter Parker apparently is getting paid), or perhaps the profits go to the Chamber of Commerce. I don't know, but it seems awfully high.
Regardless, our item is listed here. The title would make you think that we only do marketing, but that's an incorrect assumption.
If you are in need of our services, regardless of your geographical location, feel free to bid on the auction item.
