This month's contest, where you could win a new game of your choice, for any next generation console ($60 value) went very well! There was a last push of new users duing the last few days to get the number of verified sellers up, and there were 47 eligible users when I drew the name. Without further ado, I am happy to announce "bangtango" as the winner of this month's contest! He won any game of his choice for any next-generation console of his choice! Everyone give him a big round of applause! With the end of this contest, I have to announce the next contest! This one will be called the 5-5-5 contest where you can be entered up to three times to win! All you have to do is complete, any or all of the following to be eligible: 1. Refer 5 new users 2. Sell 5 items 3. Buy 5 items All within the May-June 2008 timeframe! If you do one, you are entered once! If you complete 2, you are entered twice! And if you complete all three.... you guessed it! You are entered Three times to win! The next lucky winner will receive a brand new Nintendo DS! Perfect for the beach, pool, or those long summer road trips! Finally, don't forget about the $500 contest. When we have 1000 verified users at GameGavel.com I will give one of them $500! To get to that benchmark, I need all of your help though! Make sure you buy, sell, and visit often! The more traffic the better resource GameGavel.com becomes! Just a couple of new features for April: 1. Added Feedback Sections: Shumps, 2D Gaming, Goozex, and a unlabled "Other" 2. Bulk Listing Software for the folks with a lot to sell! 3. No more Final Value Fees! 4. Weekly Newsletters for Featured Auctions and those ending soon! 5. Better Safari Compatibility! Thank you for your continued support of GameGavel.com! Let the Gavel Fall! www.gamegavel.com |

Ninja, Looks like you got it! Nice sets of NES up there! I'll stick a few MD games on later, if they sell i'll flood your site with all kinds of auctions, i'm having a big clearout ATM due to lack of space for my SEGA collection  . Are you gonna add a Sinclair/Spectrum section? |

I hope this turns out good eventually, but it's hard to say. Currently the offerings are quite weak. Over half the SNES stuff is a bunch of manuals. I really like the idea though, it could be promising. I think I'm going to add my own store on there and just put stuff I have sitting around up. Also, this might sound stupid, but you might want to add a handheld or game and watch category. There is a huge community of people that collect those things, and it would open up the options just a little bit more. Heck, there are people that collect old Tiger handheld games, so that would give them somewhere else to sell them. At least for game and watch, I recommend adding a specific category.

I will add all of those sections! Give me till Friday evening, and all of those sections will be there! As for the manuals, yes, those are all mine  I came across a huge box of stuff one day last year and picked it up. I have no need for those, so I listed them up! I live in Italy, so the swap meets, garage sales, etc are limited at best. I can't go out and buy a lot of stuff to resell like some other sites do! Ninja, I hope you post a lot of stuff! That is the way the site will take off, more stuff, more stuff, more stuff. The better the aucitons, and items, the more people will come over to check it out! Thanks to all of the positive comments! I think the next contest will help drive up people's interest even more, and with the great ideas you all are giving me, the better the site will become! I am 100% commited to making it completely taylored to our community (the VG community)! Jasen |

Ok, if you log in today... You will notice the Category List grew a lot! I went through the Rarity Database and added a good number of consoles to the list. If you notice, there were a lot of "one-hit-wonder" systems out there! I didnt put them into their Company then Subcategory to make it easier. Does anyone know that Entex made the Adventure Vision Console? Jasen |

I must sincerely apologize, for the lack of keeping everyone updated regarding GameGavel.com over the past 2 weeks. I have been playing globetrotter going between Italy, and the UK for work. Did you know that GameGavel.com gives you a lifetime membership for selling your auctions FREE, for a small one-time $1 verification fee? Did you know that we are running a contest where you can win a Nintendo DS by simply using GameGavel.com and by referring your friends? Did you know that we are going to give away $500 to one of our lucky verified sellers the day we reach 1000 verified sellers at GameGavel.com? Did you know we have already given out prizes worth over $150 to our members? How do we do this? It's simple, a TRUE alternative to ebay has to offer you something that eBay doesn't... and plainly put, that is NO FEEs to list and sell your items. I am able to do this, because I am willing to make the personal investment for the betterment of the community with a little help from simple, clean, relevant ads on the home page and soon within the Auction Update Emails that you get! No gimmicks, nothing more than simple hardwork and a great feel for the community. There are no ambitions to get rich at GameGavel.com, that's one reason I went the route of having free auctions. The other reason is, we are all tired of paying fees to sell our stuff! It is that simple! The reality of the situation is this, in the past Game Auction sites didn't survive. The history is available within this very thread to prove it. That is of course, until now. I have learned that their mistakes have been my learning points on how to make GameGavel.com the most successful Gaming Auction Site on the Internet. WWW.GAMEGAVEL.COM |

I think it would be wise for the site not to go beyond the width of the 1024x768 screen resolution, as it gives horizontal scroll bar which is just annoying.

Not in a bad way although i hate the way they say see-ga and not say-ga. Click here |

Hahaha.... I really need to brush up on my Sega Commercials.... the only ones i really remember are with "BLAST PROCESSING" and the "SAY GA!"
In any case, thanks for the compliment. I hope that we can get the user base broader, more auctions being sold, and someone to win this DS I want to give away!
