About You Your Auction House Q1 How many auctions does your house run per month on average? 1 2 3 4 5 6+ Section 1 Retreat Experience Q2 What was your single biggest takeaway from the 2026 Retreat? Q4 Which of the following topics from the Retreat do you most want Bidsquare to act on? Select up to 3 Aggregator model — what it means for discovery, collector reach, and how auction houses benefit Attracting younger buyers — understanding who they are and what tools Bidsquare could provide to help us reach them Growing our bidder base — more ways for auction houses to reach and convert new bidders through the platform Consignment growth — tools to generate more consignment leads and match us with the right sellers Bidder data and reputation — shared insights on who our bidders are and how they behave across the network KYC and fraud prevention — better tools to verify bidders and reduce chargebacks, non-payment, and fraud AI for auction houses — practical applications of AI that can improve operations, marketing, or sales today Blockchain and digital authenticity — certificates of provenance and authenticity for items sold through the platform Other Section 2 The Bidsquare Aggregator Model Q4 Bidsquare is evolving into an aggregator model — a destination where collectors can discover, follow, and engage with auction houses, not just bid on Bidsquare directly. The goal is to grow the overall audience of serious collectors on the platform, which means more eyeballs on your sales. How does this direction sit with you? Very positive — this is the right direction Positive — I can see the value Neutral — not sure yet Concerned — I have reservations Negative — I don't think this is the right move Q5 What concerns, if any, do you have about the aggregator direction? Q6 If Bidsquare succeeds in building a much larger collector audience through content, SEO, and discovery — what would that mean for your auction house? Select your top 3. More bidders on our sales More marketing opportunities — a bigger audience to promote our upcoming sales to More consignment leads — collectors who want to sell, not just buy Better collector data — understanding who our bidders are and what they want Access to a younger buyer demographic we're not currently reaching Not much — scale of audience doesn't change our business meaningfully Other: Section 3 Shared Bidder Data & Reputation Scoring Q7 Bidsquare is exploring a feature that lets auction houses share bidder reputation data — payment history, reliability, and behavior across all Bidsquare auction houses — resulting in a score visible to participating houses. How valuable would this be to you? Extremely valuable — this is a real pain point Very valuable Moderately valuable Slightly valuable Not valuable Q8 What specific bidder behaviors would you most want visibility into? Select your top 3. Late or non-payment history Chargeback or dispute history Shipping or pickup problems Overall reliability rating Notes from other auction houses Bidding activity and volume Other: Q9 If this feature saved you one problematic bidder situation per month — a non-payment, a chargeback, a fraud case — what would that be worth to you? Per month, approximate I would not pay extra for this $50/month $100/month $150/month $300/month $500+/month Q10 Any other thoughts on how a bidder reputation system should work? Section 4 Consignment & Lead Generation Q11 Bidsquare is exploring a consignment matching feature: when a collector on Bidsquare wants to consign an item, they get matched to the most relevant auction house based on location and specialty. Would you want to participate? Yes, definitely Yes, depending on how it works Unsure Probably not No Q12 Which of the following consignment features would be most valuable to you? Select all that apply. Pay-per-lead: receive qualified consignment inquiries and pay only when you accept one Featured placement: appear first to consignors in your area or category for a one-time fee Category specialization: flag the item types you actively seek (jewelry, fine art, estates, etc.) so leads are matched to your strengths Q13 Any other thoughts on what a consignment feature would need to do to be worth using? Section 5 Bidder Notifications Q15 Bidsquare already includes SMS day-before reminders and 10-lots-before alerts at no extra cost. We're exploring outbid notifications — a text sent every time a bidder is outbid on a lot they're actively competing on. Because volume scales with auction size and competition level, this would be usage-based pricing. To give you a sense of scale: a sale with 300 lots and moderate bidding generates roughly 3,000–5,000 outbid texts. A high-competition sale with 800+ lots could generate 15,000+. Which pricing tier would fit your typical auction volume? Up to 5,000 texts/month — $75/month 5,001–10,000 texts/month — $125/month 10,001–20,000 texts/month — $200/month 20,000+ texts/month — I'd want a custom quote I wouldn't pay for this feature Section 6 Platform Priorities Q16 Over the last six months, how confident are you in what Bidsquare has delivered as a platform and partner to your auction house? Very confident — they've delivered on what matters Confident — mostly positive, some gaps Neutral — hard to say Somewhat concerned — I expected more progress Not confident — significant gaps remain Q17 After hearing Traci's roadmap at the Retreat, how confident are you in Bidsquare's technology direction going forward? Very confident Confident Neutral Somewhat uncertain Not confident N/A — I was not at the Retreat Q18 What is the single most important thing Bidsquare could build or fix in the next 12 months to make a real difference to your business? Section 7 Looking Ahead Q19 What is the biggest external challenge your auction house is facing right now — beyond what Bidsquare can directly control? Q20 Is there anything else you'd like Bidsquare to know — about your business, what you need, or how the partnership could work better?
