NAXCOM/SportsLizard Partnership - $20 in YOUR NAXCOM Account!

By Adam McFarland | Posted at 6:25 pm | Filed Under PR, Site News, NAXCOM

I’m happy to announce that SportsLizard has partnered with NAXCOM to help promote their new auctions. As I mentioned the other day, NAXCOM is introducing auctions into their marketplace on November 7th and will finally provide some legit competition with eBay. To help them start off with a bang, NAXCOM is offering a special promotion for SportsLizard visitors:

Sign up for a NAXCOM account (if you don’t already have one)
Start buying and selling on NAXCOM auctions starting on November 7th
Before November 21, email support@sportslizard.com with your NAXCOM account number and a list of purchases (item + how much you paid) you made during the first week of auctions (11/7 - 11/14)
NAXCOM will deposit $20 into the account of the user who purchased the most, $10 for the second most, and $5 for the third. All three will receive a FREE Upper Deck LeBron James Uncirculated Encased RC - NAXCOM had these cards made exclusively by Upper Deck

We have also reached an agreement giving NAXCOM exclusive advertising rights for the Price Guide - you’ll notice NAXCOM Auctions ads on every single page starting today.

In addition, we also now have a “Proud Partner of NAXCOM” link on the bottom of every page on SportsLizard.com

Now the million dollar question: why align ourselves with NAXCOM? Good question, here’s my answer: we’re very, very careful who we align SportsLizard with, and NAXCOM is one of the few companies in the industry that I/we really respect and feel is doing good for the industry (I think loyal readers can figure out by the process of elimination that the other one is McFarlane).

We’re in a state of crisis with card companies struggling to survive, card shops closing, scams everywhere on the internet, and a dwindling number of collectors supporting the hobby. Some combination of ignorance, selfishness, and stubbornness caused the problems, and it’s going to take innovative companies that care about the hobby to keep it from dying a slow death. NAXCOM is one of the few companies that has the power to truly do that. They have a deep rooted history in the hobby, a strong group of programmers (absolutely necessary to innovate this industry), and the expertise and user base to make a real impact. I’ve dealt with a lot of different companies in web business (both collectibles sites and in other industries for other sites we own) and NAXCOM - in particular VP of Marketing Bill Elder with whom I’ve had many discussions - has been nothing but class. They have a great team in place and I’m really excited to see how NAXCOM Auctions changes the shape of the hobby as we know it.
