I agree with Adam. It's one thing if there's only one or two auctions running in a category on the BST. But if the idea catches on, and I sense it will, fixed price sales are going to routinely get knocked pretty far down the forum pretty quickly. I know from personal experience, ie the page view counter on my imageevent website, that when my sales listings are at the top of a BST forum I get a helluva lot more page views than I do when they get knocked down a few spots. And that translates to sales. And if someone is trying to sell 20 separate cards and they keep getting knocked further down the forum by multiple auctions in which people are raising bids for a solitary card from $7 to $7.50, I can see it becoming very frustrating for sellers.
All that being said, I like Frank's initiative and I think auctions will enhance the BST experience, but if a separate category can be created without too much hassle for the moderators, then it should.
