Is there a way I can delete unsold items so that I don't make this mistake again?

My apologies and thanks.

Now Mindat has restricted me from listing more items because of this. I do not know why and I have just finished photographing some forty pieces and want to list them. Should I just cancel listings he won and deal with it offsite?

The way I see it if I was ordering from another mindat person in another country I would want to try and win multiple items to make it worth the shipping costs.

Please enable me to list or let me know if I should cancel this auctions in question.]]> Kristopher Dingfield Mindat Auctions Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:57:10 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,102,208900,208900#msg-208900 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,102,208900,208900#msg-208900
For example, most of the specimens in the lot would be worth at least 20 euros each minimum, so a pretty good bargain :)

I was also thinking about themes, like 'Aquamarines of the world', etc.

And also with the gem minerals, offering several crystals and cut stones in a lot.

Opinions?

Also, would this go into wholesale lots?

I think that it would be great to allow sellers to update the un-sold auctions before relisting, in case some change is needed, such as lowering the starting or reserve price for instance. Would that be possible ?

Cheers !

I know that micromounts are generally crystals that are best viewed under a microscope and generally don't have much to do with the size of the matrix to which they are attached. But what is the largest crystal or matrix size that Mindat wants in the Micromount category?
Say pieces that would fit into a micromount box but the crystal is 3 to 5mm - this is pretty small to be considered a thumbnail but I wouldn't consider it to be a micromount. What about 1mm crystals on matrix?
I don't want to start a discussion over sizes and definitions. I just want to make sure I follow Mindat guidelines so I don't list anything in the wrong category.
Thanks for everyone's hard work on the site.

Is there a listing fee yet or a recommended donation perecentage? I've had a look but cannot seem to find any scale of fees.

Also is there anything I should know about posting radioactive and/or potentialy toxic specimens internationally? I have bought and sold gemstones all over the world before but nothing that may upset the postal service before ;) .

This is a brilliant site, very impressive and I hope to be able to contribute some usefull data here from my digging/detecting/prospecting results.

Auction item 1496 has been paid, shipped, and gratefully received today; it seems the postprocessing (notification mails, feedback forms) hasn't moved ahead though. It was a restarted auction, where I gather this is not entirely unexpected.

Many thanks in advance for giving the electrons a gentle push in the right direction!

And a (tu) for Mindat Auctions in general, and thank you all who have put so much work into making them happen!
