LastDodo site & app/ New: weekly book auction174 messages

Guys guys, why so negative? Some of you assume that this provider deliberately pollutes the catalog and doesn't care about anything and everything. The fact is that this is a 75-year-old who, by the way, enjoys it a lot. I was already behind that his input is far from perfect. That is one of the reasons that I am working on better auction and therefore catalog instructions. But I also had contact with several administrators to help this man make this a bit of a presentable lot. So it would be nice if we all build up the catalog in a constructive way - so together with the collector / supplier - and not just label everything as junk and just throw it off. Or to assume that someone has direct malicious intentions towards the catalog. For the criticism to my address: rightly so. I did review the lot and thought that with your help it would be fine in the catalog. This shows again how important communication is between the managers and the auctioneer (s). That is one of the points that I would like to see improved in the future.

@ Job

Which post does your comment apply to?

Excuse me. Actually on all posts regarding lot 34 in book auction 21. The 9-part lot with the works of Alexandre Dumas.

@ veilmeesterj

if you address someone personally on the forum then @ name please

that just for clarity

bvd

I have repeatedly asked the provider to put all 9 books in CW as well as that one, but no response ...

@ Morits

This provider indeed has quite a few 'start-up' problems :) I also (together with Jilles for example) put quite a bit of energy into the catalog items of the aforementioned lot. I will (continue to) try to improve the input.

Ik heb alle begrip voor de problemen van beginnende verkopers, maar ik vind dat je zulke pogingen - hoe sympatiek de man ook is - eigenlijk niet moet "belonen" met onmiddellijke plaatsing in de veiling. Zoals iedereen heeft kunnen merken is dat ook niet bevorderlijk voor de opbrengst van een kavel.

I fully understand the problems of novice sellers, but I don't think you should really "reward" such efforts - no matter how sympathetic the man is - with immediate placement in the auction. As everyone has noticed, this is not conducive to the yield of a lot.

@ Boekenmagazijn

That's right, I totally agree and that's why I went wrong. As I already indicated, this had to do with the fact that I saw that administrators were already working on it. In addition, I certainly did not 'reward' him, because I also indicated to him that in this case he gave us a lot of work. For a possible next time, I will ask the relevant administrator what the status of such an item is if I suspect that things could possibly get away.

Hm.

Can you call a silkscreen of 11 x 25 cm (even though it is in a much larger passe-partout) "poster"?

Lot 33

By the way, I see in the book auction again several lots with comic books and comic-related items, which may therefore not come to the attention of interested comic collectors.

@Book warehouse

You are right, this screen print is probably a design for a poster. Will adjust it in consultation with the provider.

indeed several comic books under the books

this starts to look like policies and no mistake sorry job

or does it just seem like that?

It appears to be mainly about Toonder and Dulieu (Paulus) books, often picture books. We have already indicated that these are on an interface and can be used in both the comic and book auction.

Rene, it has been said before that many comic book collectors never watch the book auction. It is therefore less commercially smart to offer such items with books, even if it is a border area. It is not inconceivable that it will cost you bidders.

catalogus is bepalend toch? 

kavel 73 als ik zoek bij boek zie ik ze niet

bij strips wel

en ja er is eerder over gedicuseerd maar weet niet meer waar

het is gewoon verwarrend voor de mensen

vandaar een iets fellere reactie als normaal omdat het niet de 1e keer is

verder is cw een mooie site maar zulk soort dingen doen afbreuk aan de mooie veiling

catalog is decisive right?

lot 73 when I search for book I don't see them

in comics, yes

and yes it has been discussed before but don't remember where

it's just confusing to people

hence a slightly fiercer reaction than normal because it is not the 1st time

otherwise cw is a nice site but such things detract from the nice auction

No, the catalog is not determinative. We look at the target group. That is why there are also comic figurines, puzzles, etc. in the comic auction.

Toonder is also collected by many "literature" collectors. So for certain editions (especially if they are not balloon strips) there is also something to be said for including them in the book auction. Paul is also frequently collected by children's book collectors. Providers can indicate their preference by entering them in a specific auction.

Providers can indicate their preference by submitting them to a specific auction.

Everyone has their own taste, but it would not be my choice. You as an organization can undoubtedly make a better analysis based on the figures behind the scenes, but intuitively I would estimate that the number of interested people for the comic auction is a factor 10 larger than for the book auction.

mmmm tja tja ik snap je punt rene

ik dacht echt dat je van jullie eigen catalogus uitgingen

misschien titel veranderen in boeken en aanverwante items zodat er ook ruimte is voor bijv landkaarten

die zie je ook op de deventerboeken markt

maar hoever gaan we gaan we een collectie munten van bijv asterix bij munten of strips veilen??

mmmm well well I get your point rene

I really thought you were going from your own catalog

maybe change the title to books and related items so that there is also room for e.g. maps

you can also see them on the deventer book market

but how far are we going to auction a collection of coins from, for example, asterix with coins or comics?

nothing against the postcards, but what does lot 28 do at book auction.

and why are not all cards in the catalog

do we never learn?

Ah @ Dick52 there are also Div: Comics under the Boekenveiling eg Tom Poes and the Toverpijp is in the Catalog under Comics is under Books Geveildt Enz, Etc.

Mvrg Baron.

nothing against the postcards, but what does lot 28 do at a book auction.

Because as far as I am concerned, postcards may be included in the book auction as long as there is no specific own auction for them.

and why are not all cards in the catalog

Because we encourage this, but not always make it compulsory. As you know, we've already talked about that in detail.

@baronselederie, see my earlier November 9th post in this thread.

@ Rene there is an advantage or one cannot complain about incorrectly placed prices for the items!

I think it is a missed opportunity, but there will be a reason for it.

Lot 149: Charles Rollins must be: Charles Rollin

Greetings, Jan

At Lot 103: History; Lot with 10 different books contains 1 very strange item included in Catawiki. 2x in CataWiki! Mirror of states and cities .

Shouldn't that be: Duplication of ....? And why did the contributor choose this item and not the original?
