Low six figures if they market the auction properly. HA usually does a good job of that, but their site needs to start fresh from a design perspective.

Thanks for the input... what do you think need changed/improved as far as
the user experience is concerned?
What about the bidding interface? Is it confusing or simple enough?

Thanks!

Their issue is design, not necessarily function. Granted, design can impede function.

HA is an eyesore; it looks like a site that was built in the 90's and never updated, which may very well be the case. It's difficult for me to take a company seriously that doesn't keep with the times. A lot of advancements have been made in UX/UI since the 90's, and HA could benefit from most of them.

Despite all of that, they do offer some of the most high-profile domains to ever hit an auction house.

Edit: Do you work for HA? If so, I didn't realize that. I was just giving my opinion.

Heritage...is this the same auction house for (mostly CGC graded) comic books?

The site looks clean IMO, but it feels antiquated

 

[Napkin.com]

Yes.. same company

I've always enjoyed reading about your silver-age Spider-Man's

But yeah, your site really has this 90s feel to it... and not in a warm, welcoming way. Looks too old

I agree, the website is functional and clean but it just lacks that "snappyness" and lack of graphical transitions that most websites today have. Seeing as how it's a premium auction house one would think it would look at lot better.

I think 777.company is the luckiest domain for non-asian buyer ...
