Hi Folks! This is a just friendly piece of feedback and advice for the dealers on the list.
Numerous times in the last few months I have gotten the Met Email digest, and in the digest is a note from a dealer announcing his/her eBay auctions are "closing soon" and come see them, etc, etc. When I click on the link, with the intention of bidding and buying, the auctions are all closed already. So I have a question for the group, and then a piece of feedback. Question : Does the Met Email Digest arrive much later than the individual emails? I am setup to receive the digest form of the list, so I get all of the individual emails at the same time. I am wondering if I setup my account to receive individual emails, will I get them sooner? I feel like I am missing out on opportunities here. But, I use my main email address for this list, and I don't want my inbox overrun with dozens of emails every day. And I am reluctant to set up a second account just for this list, because it's a PITA frankly to maintain more than one email account. Should I bite the bullet and setup a second account just for this list and to receive individual emails? Feedback : I would kindly suggest that dealers who run infrequent batches of auctions should send their email announcements well in advance of the closing time. A first email to announce to the auctions when they are first opened and then a second email a day in advance of closing to announce that the auctions will be closing soon. By sending out that second email hours before close, these dealers are missing out on potential business from those who receive the digest form of the Met list.
