I'm new to the forums here so if I am violating any guidelines I apologize. I am looking to gauge interest in a disc golf auction website. I know that DGCR has several marketplace forums for selling and auctioning discs and it seems fairly active. I also know that there are Facebook pages like Dollar Disc Golf Auctions that serve the same purpose. And, of course, there is always eBay.
I'm interested in developing a speciality auction site that only deals in disc golf merchandise. I feel like, if done properly, it can combine the best of DGCR's auctions with DDGA and eBay's auctions, while cutting out some of the frustration I've read about (unreliable bidders, high eBay fees, etc).
I know there have been a couple of sites in the past that have attempted this (discaroo comes to mind) and weren't able to succeed, but I enjoy a challenge.
Is there a market for a site like this? For those of you who run auctions on DGCR or any of the various facebook auctions sites, what would it take for you to start running your auctions somewhere else? I would assume having more bidders competing for your used plastic is key, but what else?
Would love some feedback.
Thanks!
