Re: Auction type posts
I'm definitely down, but there will obviously need to be rules. I think the auctions should be short and sweet, prob. no longer than 1 day or else the entire transactions board will get flooded and filled. Also, I'm not a fan of all these extra stipulations people put on their auctions on the old bmb. Same goes for reserves, people will be auctioning stuff with big reserves or stipulations like $20 on a card that sells for that or less already on ebay, why bother? Put it up and truly auction it off. Short and sweet. Lastly, once rules/reserve or not/ or any other stipulation is posted, no extending the auction. Time for duration is set, its set.

Sounds great to me...as long as there are specifics set in place that can't be altered.

Re: Auction type posts
I've gotten a couple of PM's and I think the biggest hurdle will be deciding if there is a "reserve" that it not be too high. Like every auction that runs its course, the seller needs to be comfortable with letting it go. Also, I dont think we want too many running at the same time. I'd like to see some suggestions...
If we do agree, i'd be glad to let bravescollector be the first one.

Re: Auction type posts
The trade board is already flooded with mostly posts with nothing but selling as is. How about having its own board that way it doesn't clog it up for traders.

Re: Auction type posts
While we're on this train of though, how bout we get rid of all this ebay spamming crap? All the buy threads are bad enough only to open them and find that the deal is if you use live.com. You want to sell your stuff on ebay, sell it there then. Your auctions can be posted in your info under your avatar. Thats enough IMO.

Re: Auction type posts
I voted no, but for 24 hour trade type things, that'd be interesting.

Re: Auction type posts
That way I feel more people will view all the threads in the transaction forum. And if we do do an auction, I think if there is not it's own forum it will kind of get lost in all the other threads.
And BTW, pm sent to phillyfan

Re: Auction type posts
I like the idea. But I fell with all of the sell post we should consider a all sell and a all trade on different ones.

Re: Auction type posts
The only issue I see with seperate trade and sell boards is that alot of folks are trying to do both. I will have to look into seeing if we can branch off another board.
Keep the ideas coming!

Re: Auction type posts
I say we experiment with this and give it a go with a few auctions!

Re: Auction type posts
I like the idea but I say get rid of the reserve. That will just make it harder to do, if you are worried that you won't get what you want for a card then don't put it up for auction.
Also I think there should be a rule that one an auction starts you can't take it down (unless it is against the rules) and if you start an auction that card must sell, no matter what even if it's only one bid. It just ruins things when people do auctions and it ends to low and then they don't sell the card.
So I think it is a great idea as long as there are rules.

Re: Auction type posts
I used to do live AIM auctions, but Beckett shut down the option of posting such auctions on their site so I had to stop. I had about 4 of them. They were very successful in that many people participated, they lasted about 2-3 hours each time and I got rid of a LOT of stuff in the process.
Maybe I'll recruit for one of those again if that's allow in this site... They sure were fun!

Re: Auction type posts
I would like to see reverse auctions with no limits. I have tons of things that I would let go for any price. Set up the auction to decrement an unspecified amount at an unspecified time interval. First one who is willing to take it wins
