Re-thinking Web Auction Software: Introducing TM Auctions

Published on March 17, 2009 by steve in TM Auctions

Thomas Multimedia is pleased to announce the official launch of our web auction software, TM Auctions.

Why did I build TM Auctions? Because their is an abysmal lack of easy to use auction software for every day business. It seems like everyone else is focused on feature on top of feature, slapping on a price tag and mass releasing their software, and leaving it to their customers to figure out the rest.

I thought to myself – why not offer web auction software as a service? What this means is that Thomas Multimedia takes care of the technical aspects – hosting, server maintanence, scaling issues – while the auction site owner can focus on what matters to them, building up an online auction community.

Besides the lack of availability of a true auction website service, I think i’m not alone in thinking online auctions are alot of fun. It’s a win-win for the buyer and seller. The buyer bids only as much as they want to bid, potentially saving big bucks compared to traditional retail buying, while the seller sets a minimum acceptable selling price with the potential for a bidding war and healthy profitibaility from the sale.

Our product is designed with a wealth of auction site production experience to learn from. We figured people really like to use web software that is easy to use and does the things an auction site should do, without bloating the whole process with a million seldom used functions, and buttons left right and center. As well as being able to customize your TM Auctions auction site design however you like, you can also have us customize it in all sorts of ways for you.

Sounds great – but what about the pricing? TM Auctions removes the big barrier to entry by being priced on a monthly basis, starting at just $49 Australian dollars per month with no startup fees.

You get to use a product with thousands of hours of development already in it, a constantly evolving product that grows on user feedback – without paying big bucks up front.

In fact the first 30 days are free!
