eMoviePoster.comDid you know... that our auctions have a significantly "new look" to them?Return to Did You Know Archive Added: 07/29/2013 A few weeks ago, we announced an upgraded auction template (see this article). This week we want to announce further improvements to this new look (you may have already noticed these changes as they began with the current Tuesday auctions and Thursday auctions). Our goal with these changes was to streamline the auctions, making it easier to get to the details you want to see and faster to get to the bid box (no more long scrolling to the bottom of the page!). In many cases, these changes mean all the main auction details will appear on a single screen! Below is an image that shows BEFORE and AFTER examples of auctions that illustrate these changes. The "X"s in the "before" half of the image at left indicate the areas where we have REMOVED information (don't worry; the information has only been re-located!). The numbers & arrows in the "after" half at right indicate areas to where that information was re-located. Now we will explain what has been changed by number (of course, the numbers in the following text correspond to the numbers in the below image). 1) We moved the cost of shipping details to the top of the auctions. 2) We now include the "overall condition grade" at the top of the auctions for a quick "snapshot" of the item's grade. You can click a "Details" link that will show you the full condition description which is still located near the bottom of the auction description. We made NO change to how we condition items, and we will continue providing detailed condition descriptions as always. 3) You'll note that we removed our old buttons for "Large" and "Supersize images". In the new format, you can see the "Large" image by clicking on the thumbnail at the top of the auction. You can see the Supersize image by clicking the button to the right of the thumbnail that is labeled "Take a Closer Look: View Supersize Image". NOTE: The thumbnail image becomes a slideshow of images when there are more than one for an auction.
4) We have always provided an "info" page for each set of auctions that describes overall details about the set of auctions. We moved that link to be a button which is now displayed to the lower right of the thumbnail where it reads "About This Set of Auctions". NOTE: If you've never looked at this page before, you should check one out HERE (this one is for the Thursday auctions that close Thursday, August 1st) as it provides details like a description of any special collections we are offering, a chart of what is being offered, and general shipping notes for the items in the auction. 5) We moved the bid box up so that it comes immediately after the details for that particular auction. We realize the text in the below examples is very tiny and hard to read, so we recommend you view a current auction (such as this one) to see these changes "in real life". Our goal in making these many changes was to get YOU (the bidder) as much of the most important information you want to see (the image, the condition, the shipping cost, and links to the details of the condition and the supersized image) as close to the top of the screen as possible. We know full well how hard it can be to view 1,000 auctions at one time, and we feel certain the above changes will make it far easier for everyone to do so!
