Tips... |
 At
www.bid4hay.com we encourage the listing of both classifieds and auctions for your
products. Do not hesitate to list a lot size of hay in the classifieds as well as
a lot size or truckload of hay in the auction listing. This will help you gain exposure
to the marketplace and make you more successful in marketing your product. Be careful
not to overlist or over specify the amount of product you will have for sale. Use
caution in listing the same lot in both the classifieds and auctions simultaniously,
as which you may find yourself caught on the short end.
By following these guidelines we feel you will have the most success:
1) Take it slow. List 1 lot to begin with and as you get more comfortable you may
begin to list multiple lots or loads.
2) We encourage you to test your hay, but it is not required.
3) Take high quality photos, that will indicate bale size and use up close photos
to display bale color, texture, leafiness, stem or weed free hay.
4) If capable scan the test results into a picture format to upload as a picture.
5) List "X" amount of current inventory first in the classifeds listings, and list
an "X" amount of inventory in the auctions, but do not list all inventory in the
classifieds and all inventory in the auctions simultaneously.
6) Scan current listings to see what the quality of hay in your region is bringing
and match the prices accordingly.
7) Use shorter auction times such as 7 days or less to promote quicker sale and
generate more bids.
8) Using in a lower starting price typically encourages more bidding, which in turn
drives up the price.
9) Use a reserve price to guarantee a specified minimum price you are willing to
accept.
10) Use a buy now price to let supply and demand forces work for you. The buy now
price is the price the seller is willing to accept to end the auction.
11) Specify details in the description such as bale dimensions, estimated weight,
lot size, quality attributes and what the lot units are in (bales or tons). Note:
All hay sales fees are final, no refunds or chargebacks are due back to the seller
if hay being sold by the ton is not all able to be picked up by buyer or delivered
by seller. For example, if you as the seller list 25 tons of hay in the lot to be
sold and the final price bid is $3,000 or in essence, $120/ton, yet you are only
able to deliver or the buyer is only able to pickup 23 tons, there will be no refund
to you as the seller for the difference in commision. However, buyer and seller
can negotiate difference in total price for payment. |
