I'm also new to the live sale idea. Although I am very excited to participate! Since this has been done before, can someone provide a link to a previous live sale thread? I'd be interested in just reading through a couple pages just to get a feel for it. I also have some other questions:
1. If someone is able to purchase an item first, will picture go away on the thread/become unlinked/link to the page but be shown as "sold out"/etc.?
2. I see that there will be some heavily discounted items, in the $1-$20 range. Do you show the normal price along with the discounted price to get an idea of the savings? Like, would you put an acan frag that normally costs $50 on the sale thread at say, $45? Or should we expect all items will be at pretty substantial discounts? I'm just trying to make sure I have the correct expectations. Is it possible to see a $400 chalice being sold for $1, or would it more likely be 10-20% off?
3. Does rule 6 apply only to sale items that are $10 or less? So can someone buy an unlimited amount of > = $11 items?
4. Is there any structure to the groupings of offers every 15 minutes? Like, will there be a zoa grouping, than SPS, etc. or will it be pretty random?
5. I'm guessing everything will be WYSIWYG correct? Will there ever be multiples available? Or if there are multiples, would one grouping consist of 5 of the same coral but in WYSIWG pieces?
6. Also with Rule 6, you mention "regular" purchases and "super sale" purchases. Are all the corals you put on the thread considered "super sale" purchases and then we have to go to your website and buy something regular price? Or will each item be listed as either "regular" or "super sale." I only ask because I would consider a $600 chalice priced at $300 to be a super sale, but $300 is a good sum of money. So would it be considered "regular?"
7. How often do you need to check in to be considered with you for the full 12 hours?
I know these are a lot of questions but I'm a newb to this live sale idea. Thanks!
