eBay auctions vs Net54 auctions

[camlov2]

When searching for items on ebay the items that are closest to the end of the auction are listed first. The website is built to "bump" the items to the top as they near their close.

On net54 there isn't a feature that does this, if the owner doesn't bump their thread the item can be missed multiple pages down.

I don't see this as net54 bumping to be different, it is net54 bumping to be on an even playing field.

I think, as a whole, Net54 Auctions go way cheaper than eBay auctions. I have no sympathy for anyone who missed out on a "really great deal" because someone else bid on an item here. Chances are, the final price was a better deal than eBay. Go pay higher prices there and keep your indignity because it got bumped here. You're cutting your nose to spite your face, IMO.

There is really no need for excessive bumpage on BST auctions - there are never so many active auctions that push them off the first page. On the other sales pages, an occasional bump is warranted. My personal pet peeve is all of the WTB bumps - that should be limited to about twice a year.

One thing that would help would be putting "SOLD" in the auction title so everyone knows which auctions are over. There are some listings now where the title says "Ends Oct 26th", or something similar. That is fine, because it that also indicates that the auction is over if the date is past the 26th.

But, if the title says "ending Sunday", know one knows if the auction is open or closed with out clicking on the link and reading the details.

In truth, only Anthony was released from his contract.

I LOVE Net54 auctions and the BST. I trust the members here to be completely honest in their listings.

Plus, I have made two high (for me, $100+) dollar purchases that arrived BEFORE the check was cashed. Truly amazing!

This makes sense. Sucks to click on links for auctions that are finished.
