While we passed along the offers, the response rates varied, and it became a lot to manage. We did facilitate many sales through the feature, including some significant items, but until we could build a better mousetrap, we opted to hide it. We still get emails daily through the website, and we’re happy to pass them along to the buyer where it makes sense.

Thanks, Brian. At least I'm not crazy
Maybe you could have the minimum offer be 50% above the sale price and you do it for just the last, say 3 auctions? Or the last 2 years or something....that would help alleviate some of the time passage issues you mention. Just a thought.
