It’s been an exciting week at Vinfolio. If you haven’t heard yet, we’ve announced the Vinfolio Marketplace as an easy way for VinCellar users to sell their wine anonymously. Bidding starts when we launch in early July.
Now’s the time to go through your cellar and start marking your wine for sale. Selling is passive so once your wine’s been marked for sale, just sit back, pour yourself a glass of wine and let the bidding begin.
Improve your chances
- Set an optional asking price on your wine. Your asking price is public and informs bidders of the price you are willing to accept for your wine. This will help bidders set a reasonable bid. Enter an asking price when you mark wine for sale or from the Marketplace tab on the wine detail page.
- You can also set an optional minimum price. Your minimum price is private and represents the lowest price you would accept for this wine. Your minimum price can be used to auto-accept bids on wine stored at Vinfolio (more about auto-accept in a future blog post).
- Upload a label image for your wine. Read Amy's blog post to learn how.
What happens next?
We’re building robust tools to simplify the process of accepting bids and shipping your wine to us including:
- Custom bid alerts which notify you immediately (or less frequently, you choose) on bids which meet your specific criteria.
- Simple, guided bid acceptance process.
- Easy, visual steps for preparing wine for shipping. We’ll tell you what to ship, when to ship and how to ship.
We'll be walking through the specifics over the next few weeks. Check back here frequently and you'll be ready to sell in July!
