you with a daily report. You can use these links to promote your items directly.
If you have an e-mail list that you would like to send your links to but
are not sure how to get the best results, we would be happy to assist you
in that effort.

Ask your Buyers to post positive feedback
and follow up on your request. If you have positive feedback, more bidders
will feel comfortable bidding on your items, thus increasing your final
sales.

Quotes and Ratings from industry leaders
are very, very helpful. However, be careful that you don't round a "95+"
to a "96" or purposely use an old rating that is higher than a current rating.

Try not to use a "reserve" - This tends
to irritate bidders. If you start off with a fair price (after checking
with the above resources), bidding activity will follow. Most successful
bidders will bid in the remaining minutes, so don't be nervous if an hour
before the close of the Auction, there is very little activity.

If you were not successful in selling your
item the first time out, you can use our Re-List Feature! However, if you
uploaded an image to CellarX.com, you will have to re-upload it.
We need to delete images after an Auction ends to free up resources. Thank
you.

CellarX.com uses a type of Auction called
a Dynamic Auction. This means that at the close of the auction, if
there are additional bids within 5 minutes, the Auction will remain open
for more bidding. This is a very popular feature that nets sellers higher
results. And gives the 56k modem folks a chance at bidding.

If you have a case of wine that you wish to sell
together, you can list the quantity as "1", but in your description of that
item you would specify that the item as "12 bottles." If you put in a quantity
of 12, then the Auction becomes a Yankee Auction and bidding is accomplished
per bottle much like winebid.com

about shipping wines out of your state, please consult the
legal links
we have available. |

| Make sure you aren't asking too much for your wine. You can check out
over 100,000 past Auction hammer prices from The Chicago Wine Company
at www.stratsplace.com
-- If you are not getting any bids on your items, you are probably asking
too much and the above resource is free! |
