I'd like to start this post with a disclaimer lol.
I don't mean to step on any toes with what I ask. Its just something I've been wondering about lately and wanted to get the opinions of others that may have more knowledge and involvement than I do.
So what I am wondering is:
Are there too many auctions and markets? Does it hurt the bottom line? I've been in KittyCatS a loooong time. I remember when there was Catnip and Juiceberry. I don't remember who had the first auction but I am sure someone knows.
What I remember back when I first started going to auctions was they were PACKED and I mean standing room only almost every time. But they weren't an everyday thing back then.
Now it seems like there are so many auctions you can't possibly go to them all and if you bought a cat at each one you'd be broke. For me, it's taken a little of the excitment away. Like having a birthday party everyday would get old pretty fast.
I still love going to auctions most of the time, I just have to sit on my hands all to often and watch as a great cat goes no sale. And I don't mean to say that I think people that are having auctions should stop or shouldn't have started. I've toyed with the idea of a market/auction myself but decided against it since there were already plenty to choose from. Then ended up at Nacht's Landing which has worked out great for me.
I guess what I am really rambling about is I wonder if having so many auctions and so many markets creates indifference? I figure it's a natural progression as there are more and more people breeding. But I think there will always be more cats than there are people that want to buy them for the most part. Or do I just think that because I am a hoarder?
I dunno. I really hope I didn't offend with this question and I'd appreciate any thoughts you'd like to share.
Thanks,
Noc
