Sellers do not have to list items in the Theme area - it is just a listing option. Many conventional antique and collectible auction houses like our parent company Burns Auctioneers, frequently have auctions that are centered around a specific theme. Since this notion of themes already existed in traditional auction houses we felt that it would naturally extend to our online auction format. For a listing of upcoming themes on Auction Port check out the Auction Port Theme Calendar . From the Auction Port home page and the category pages, members can click on links that will preview items in each of the upcoming theme month.
Sellers have the option to pre-list their items by setting a specific start date for their auctions.
So, if you know that you are going to list something in a theme month that is a few weeks away you can list it today and let bidders get a preview of your auction, you can start it and end it exactly for that month.
