Zing Auction

CMarket was the best there was when I looked a couple years ago, and it looks like it's gotten financially worse. Before, they stated the up-front and percentage fees, and all I remember is that we could theoretically turn a profit doing it cheaper.

Now, that's hidden in the application process, except for this ill-advised boast:

"Customers earn an average of $5 for every $1 they invest - an astounding 400% return on their investment which is why cMarket has become the preferred online auction provider for schools and nonprofits nationwide." (cmarket.com/run-auction.htm)

Ben,

My name is Sam, and I just come across your NYPHP 2005 posting asking for an online ticketing system advice for a small theater. I'm in the same boat as you, and would appreciate if you could point me in a good direction. [...] this is for a local theater that the city recently purchased, restored, and is seeking to use as a community asset. A solid, low-cost/no-cost, online ticketing system is the next step of this process.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Thanks,
Sam
