BST Auctions

[sdkammeyer]

Well ....... is it time for a net54 weekly conglomerate auction? No way you can go wrong there Leon. Would be a little work, but maybe you could wrangle a mod to help out.

30-40 lots maximum per week..... ending every Saturday at various time intervals??

I think it would actually get MORE people involved in the "live auctions" if it were a bit more structured.

+1 !!!

No thanks. Too much work, unless you're volunteering. A couple categories would be painless and I wouldn't have to spend every Saturday night looking at bids. We have companies that do that already...

1. Limited number of active auctions per person (1, 2 or 3) per existing category

2. No bumps for closed auctions or thank yous. Titles can be changed without bumping I believe through editing function.

3. Everybody wants to be near the top. Auctions are not sortable by closing time. One bump on the final day of an auction only or weekly on the BST threads.

4. Activity seems to be increasing so more categories may be needed, but I would like to see 1, 2 & 3 first.

Rules can be applied to live auctions and existing BST threads.

Just my two cents.

I was thinking something similar, but possibly Bi-annually.

To address this small, first little misunderstanding there has been a title change on the Live Auctions BST forum. It now says 2-3 open at once. That is more than enough rules. The more rules the worse it is.

That situation has all been taken care of AND maybe there was a bit of a positive outcome to the whole thing.

As for an auction of some type, I really think there are enough going around, that I don't want to make the little Net54baseball one into anything more than it is, at least as of now. I am open to listening to all ideas, as always, but I am slow to fix things that aren't broken.

And Frank, I hear what you say about instituting some rules...I think we have one of these threads every 6 mos and let things work themselves out. If anything gets crazy it will be addressed. Caveat Emptor

I'd definitely support a limit on bumps to once per auction.

If you want to moderate that, I think the position is open.

I think the idea of breaking up the auction area into sections would work well.

basicly:

the Live Auction link on the main page remains once you click it it takes you to a page with the break down of all the auction threads-

1 - 19 cent auctions

2 - Pre War

3 - T's

4 - etc etc etc

that way the feel of the forum reamins the same (same front page) and the auction's are all broke into the same categories as our threads. Would make for a better wat to find what your looking for as a buyer as well.
