The Impact of “Add Details”
Precision is key in auction cataloging. AuctionWriter simplifies listing creation by generating detailed descriptions from uploaded photos. While images provide a strong foundation for a professional auction catalog, they may not capture every important detail. That’s where the “Add Details” field comes in. This feature lets users explicitly share key information with AuctionWriter’s AI to produce more accurate and complete auction listings.
Examples of Key Details to Add:
- Dimensions and Weight: Images may offer a general idea, but they don’t define exact measurements. Including dimensions or weight is critical for items like furniture, machinery, or art.
- Functionality: For appliances, vehicles, or other complex items, noting whether they are fully operational can make or break a listing.
- Documentation: Titles for cars or certificates of authenticity for fine art are essential for verifying an item’s value. While these documents can often be photographed, sensitive details may need to remain private.
- Specific Counts: For large groups of items, such as a collection of coins or trading cards, include an exact count in the “Add Details” field. AI can struggle to count piles or identify every variation within a set.
- Make and Model: For vehicles, appliances, or electronics, exact make and model information ensures that potential buyers know what they’re bidding on.
How to Use the “Add Details” Field Effectively
Adding details doesn’t have to be time-consuming or complicated. When users provide information, they don’t need to write paragraphs or full sentences for AuctionWriter to understand. Simply listing the data is enough. For example:
- Instead of writing: “This is a fully functioning washing machine in excellent condition. The dimensions are 36x27x27 inches.”
- Simply list: “Fully functional. Dimensions: 36x27x27 inches.”
This streamlined approach ensures that AuctionWriter gets the information it needs without adding extra work for users.
A Complement to Expert Evaluation
It’s important to note that while AuctionWriter leverages cutting-edge AI technology to generate accurate content, it is not a replacement for expert evaluation. For example:
- AI may struggle to estimate the exact value of a rare antique or identify subtle differences between two similar items.
- AuctionWriter can’t physically inspect or test an item’s functionality, so your input remains critical.
- AI provides a strong foundation for researching and identifying items. However, factors like an item’s condition, completeness, or the quality of the uploaded photo may require an auction expert to supplement the AI’s findings and fill in any gaps.
By providing thorough details in the “Add Details” field, you help AuctionWriter maximize its potential while ensuring your auction lots are cataloged as accurately and comprehensively as possible.
