Auction Format: Going once! Going twice!! Gone!!!
- Auctioneer (who must be present) will post a card that is up for auction in the chat room. A picture can also be provided (this would be preferred).
- Auctioneer will set the opening bid price, but there are to be no reserves. Everything will sell.
- Bidders in the chat room bid (ONLY BID NO CHATTING!!! - can open another chat room for that since there are many "rooms").
- When the bidding slows, the auctioneer says "going once!" if someone bids after this, the auctioneer gives it a few seconds to see if anyone else jumps in with a bid. If not, then he says "going once!" again, if no bids, then he says "going twice!" and if no bid is placed again before he says "GONE!" then that is the end of the bidding for the card and it goes to the last person who made a bid.
- Shipping should be determined by the seller at the conclusion and based on actual shipping costs associated with sending the item. This may vary depending on the quantity of cards purchased, final value for insurance, etc.
Auction Increments: Minimum price for a card should be started at $1.00. If it's worth less than that, please don't enter it into the auction. Bid increases should be in $.25 cent or higher increments to $5.00, $.50 cent or higher increments to $20.00, $1.00 increments to $50.00, and $2.00 increments for anything over $50.00.
Duplicate bids by different bidders: If two people bid the same amount (both posting at the same time), the person who bid first will be honored as the high bid and it will be up to the second bidder to increase his bid if he so desires.
Attendees: Anyone who is an FCB member may participate in the auctions. Please reply to this post if you are going to be around and would like to be a participant in the auction as a potential buyer. This will give us an idea of the potential interest.
Attendee Guidelines: EVERYONE is welcome to participate!!! The more the merrier! Please, only participate and bid IF you intend to pay. Payment will be due at the conclusion of the auction and should be arranged between the auctioneer and the high bidder for his item(s). We suggest collecting the winning bids by paypal and suggest you do not accept gift payments unless you are comfortable with this.
There are no buyer or seller premiums or additional fees. Whatever you bid is the final price. Whatever you make as an auctioneer is your money. FCB is not taking any cuts.
Mods: Please sticky!!! This is for the benefit of the entire community and we really want to get the word out. Please tell your friends on other collecting sites about this great opportunity as well!
