As ya'll can see there is a new auction section to use if folks want to? If no one cares to do them it will take about 2 seconds to delete it. I moved the test threads to a new test forum which is right under the golf section......regards

I think I read somewhere -- at least three times -- that one Net54er isn't doing any more auctions. Someone please do the right thing, make him happy and plead with him to have a change of heart.

Leon, is the new auction section that you provided a link to in the B/S/T section or somewhere else? I'm not seeing it but might not be looking in the right place.

Seeing as I was one of the individuals who requested a separate section for auctions, I just put my money where my mouth is and listed the first card in the new auction section. I think auctions will be a very enjoyable addition to the site. Thus ends the pimping portion of the proceedings.

For anyone who may want to conduct auctions on Net54, I would be willing to list the card, as a NEt54 auctioneer, on the B/S/T for you... so you don't have to do the work yourself. My seller's commission is only 10%.

nice...I should have thought of that

The buyer should send me the money for the auction and I will pay the seller - minus a small fee.

Send your payments to "payrick@aol.com

Nice job Leon. I think it's good to give it a dedicated section. If it outgrows one section, we can always add more. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

I def agree that the seller should be able to set his own rules and that there not be a forum-specified format (with one exception below). If someone wants to do dutch, fine. Classic? Good. Silent? Fine. Let people do whatever they want. As long as all rules are clear and in the first post, why should we try to impose structure and our opinions?

Exception is that if there is any reserve at all, any circumstance under which the seller will back out, he needs to say it up front including the amount of any reserve. That will head a lot of potential problems off at the pass and minimize the need for Leon's involvement in disputes.

Other than that, let the board take care of it. It does just fine on the selling end - if someone does wrong on a transaction, we usually know about it, usually know both sides, and the market forces (such as they exist on this board) end up resolving the issue. Honest mistakes usually get a pass - hey, this isn't ebay where you just whack someone for shipping 24.5 hours after the auction closes - and wrongdoers end up getting unofficially blackballed by other members.
