Some things are priced a little high but overall a ton of really great stuff they put together.

So, if you bid on this stuff, how does it work.? Does it come from the seller direct? Is it a final price auction? Who deals with issues?

once the auction ends it vanishes I understand this is Paddle8's policy. Artnet do a similar thing with unsold lots. It's frustrating as I was watching a number of lots from the last auction and missed the end, and despite making some enquiries I wasn't able to find out the 'hammer' price. I would have thought this also limits the company's ability to generate sales once the auction has ended (on unsold lots)...

As it stands this feedback will stick and the site will inevitably gain less customers than it might hope to. Whether this will lead to total failure remains to be seen but certainly from what I've seen it's a critical failing. (Some might say its a differentiator but I'd counter with the opposite it's a failing not a positive)

it is beneficial to sellers, as a passed lot is not permanently burned through record of a failed sale.

I have no problem with paddle8 at all. I like the site an have seen some great pieces available at very good prices. I also like the point that ricosg11 brought up. My problem is with UAA. Horrible communication, ridiculous reserves, and what seemed like some very shady bidding. I would have no issue doing something with paddle8 in the future, but I would be very hesitant to list something with UAA again.

It does hide the fact that a particular print/ painting etc went unsold, thereby doing a favour for the artist (in some circumstances) and future consignors of that same piece. I suspect the real reason for such a policy is to protect the website's longevity so potential consignors have a lack of transparency over the high unsold:sold ratio...
