We are interested in the antiques and collectibles industries. As such, we have created an auction sites for one of the best known niche auction houses in the industry:
Victorian Casino Antique Auction
Sites originally created, developed and operated by WebMagic:
Pets.com
was founded and developed at WebMagic's Pasadena, California, headquarters.
We conceived of the company and set up its web site, offices, staffing, and distribution.
In early 1999, we made Pets.com a seperate company, brought in venture capital funds
from Hummer Winblad Venture Partners and Amazon.com.
After kicking Pets.com out of our nest, we moved it to San Francisco where it became fully independent under the guidance of its management team and venture partners. Unfortunately, within 2 weeks of this announcement a dozen other copycat businesses were "launched" by other venture firms that "wanted a piece of the action." Pets.com went public on February 11, 2000, and the rest is history. The success of Pets.com depended on reaching a certain size in which savings and the economies of scale from having a number of regional warehouses would be fully realized. The copycat businesses threw tons of resources (the top 3 imitators raised an average of nearly $100,000,000.00 each!) in trying to reach critical size before Pets.com did. All they did was make sure all the pet sites used up their resources before reaching critical mass.
We are often asked if we would work with the same venture partners again--Yes, we would.
During this time, the business-to-business phase of the Internet craze was developing.
The B2B businesses tended to have twice as many stupid competitors as the Internet retailers experienced.
As such, we were one of the few top-tier Internet development houses that did not launch pre-IPO B2B plays.
