Barry-

That's exactly the angle I've been looking at. There has to be pressure put on the participants to participate or the whole thing grinds along.

At the same time having a definitive cut off doesn't help the early action either.

So there has to be a system that encourages action and exhaust the potential bidders until only one is standing. Much like a live auction.

What can be the on line equivalent of "Going once...going twice" It's not the fifteen minute rule as we know it now.
