Board auction etiquette

I'm jumping in to say yes, when I scroll down I see GMT-4 and the EDT.

You set the time in User CP, under Edit Options

To avoid confusion, some sellers post a specific time zone. For example:

"...8:00 p.m. Eastern Time...

This works best for me. Your mileage may vary.

That is how I do it....so if someone is say, 2 hours behind EST, they adjust down a couple of hours. 9:30pm EST is 7:30pm Mountain.

I think this is a good discussion, sense I have had no shows in a while – I am going to use the BST and auctions more. Hopefully there will be shows again but would like to start using Net54 more often when I can vs. eBay. Communication is important!

Yep, communication.

It definitely irks me a bit on ebay or here where we reach a deal and there is no communication for 2-3 days. Plenty of time I have messaged someone quickly and said "hey, sorry for the delay in payment. Currently traveling and will deal with pay pal when I am back in front of a computer. Thanks for your patience."

Having said that, I've probably done 50-70 BST transactions with ZERO significant issues. Certainly can't say that about eBay. Lots of hucksters.

My only pet peeve with BST are member who list things for 5 years, have tapped it 50 times, and always post stuff like "I'm getting a lot of serious inquiries on this but it's still available." Yeah, sure you are.

Very sophisticated audience. Don't need a lot of puffery and dramatic build up. In fact the more you hype something the most suspicious I immediately become. Quality (or lack thereof) will speak for itself.
