Conducting auctions on the B/S/T

Adam, when I mention in my auction

"I'll let you guys bid on it for a while. If/when it gets up to where I'm willing to let it sell, I'll contact the high bidder to let them suggest a convenient closing day and time for him. I'll post that day and time, and clearly state the time zone."

Then it is obvious that I'm not selling the card for a one cent bid. I agree that anyone attempting an auction needs to think it through and specify what's going on and how it will work. I'm satisfied with my format, once I clearly stated how it would end and the time zone...

So for me I won't get into a position where I'd be forced to sell when I didn't want to sell. (Guess I shouldn't use that word sell, it sounds like that 's' word that is part of BST, or maybe the selling of the card is what happens after an auction?) I think we may be done with auctions...

As ya'll can see there is a new auction section to use if folks want to? If no one cares to do them it will take about 2 seconds to delete it. I moved the test threads to a new test forum which is right under the golf section......regards

I think I read somewhere -- at least three times -- that one Net54er isn't doing any more auctions. Someone please do the right thing, make him happy and plead with him to have a change of heart.

Leon, is the new auction section that you provided a link to in the B/S/T section or somewhere else? I'm not seeing it but might not be looking in the right place.

Thanks, Leon.

Seeing as I was one of the individuals who requested a separate section for auctions, I just put my money where my mouth is and listed the first card in the new auction section. I think auctions will be a very enjoyable addition to the site. Thus ends the pimping portion of the proceedings.

For anyone who may want to conduct auctions on Net54, I would be willing to list the card, as a NEt54 auctioneer, on the B/S/T for you... so you don't have to do the work yourself. My seller's commission is only 10%.

Can't the auctions run like The Trader Speaks ads back in the 70s and 80s?
You list your items for auction and the bidders would mail their top bids however in this case they would email them.
The seller would state when the auction ends and the bidder with the highest bid will be notified by the seller as the winner.
One post per seller however the seller can list multiple items in the post.
Just a thought.
