In the hope of inventing a better mousetrap on behalf of all bottle collectors we are asking for as many opinions and ideas as possible for reference in developing an antique bottle auction site. Please take a couple of minutes to help make sure our implementation of a new on line antique bottle auction site is the best it can be. Thanks, the MrBottles.com crew.

As an antique bottle collector I would prefer a national antique bottle auction site to feature:

Yes No An anti snipe feature - A bid inside the last fifteen minutes adds fifteen minutes to the auction. Reduces the ability to win with bids at the last second.
Yes No An assisted snipe feature - an artificial intelligence proxy agent that watches the auction and automatically snipes during the auction's closing minutes.
Yes No FLAT RATE auction fees over percentages. As the site grows this may equate to a yearly registration and no other fees. Say $30 to $50 per year or less as active users build up.
Yes No Restriction of sales to bottles and closely related memorabilia only.
Yes No Open communication lines for buyers and sellers.
Yes No Bidder & seller rating system and notification. When a user bids on multiple user listing but does not win (possible shill bidding) or wins and doesn't pay/doesn’t leave feedback, rating notification is displayed beside user ID with link to bid history/comments.
Yes No Large image size standard. Choices for auction options based on preference NOT cost.
Yes No Free first listing(s).
Yes No One month ‘setup’ with staggered go live before the site goes live - One month before kickoff the site would start taking preload auctions. Giving users the chance to load an auction that would start one month from the day of load. This will give search engines time to find the bottle and it will give people time to search the site. These preloads would be free or at a ‘split the cost’ rate. NOT EVEN BREAK EVEN as a momentum builder.
Yes No I would prefer open bid auctions.
Yes No I would prefer anonymous bid auctions.
Yes No I would prefer sealed bid auctions.
Buy Sell
Both 		I would use the site pimarily to:
Yes No I would support a national bottle only auction site.
Yes No Reserve price auctions.
