I like that you can see the person-ids you are bidding with and who the winner is unlike ebay where it is anonymous, that is if you know your ids. If I can't tell who you are as a seller I probably won't bid.

This does look like it is going to do well and I hope it does.

Adam had the suggestion of starting the bidding at the absolute minimum
acceptable amount so as not to waste time and avoid a card that has bids on
it from being pulled and causing a debate. That seems like a very good idea.

What's to keep all the sales from going to the auction section? This could end up being alot of high minimum bid auctions, is there going to be a no bump rule by the auction starter? This will at least keep the active auctions to the top and encourage lower starting bids.

Lee's observation about low starting price allows for bids that continually bump the item as bids are made.


I see that an auction with a high reserve could just be a glorified sale... I'd like to see as few restrictions as possible (and since Leon hails from Texas I think that's how it will be). After all, the owner / seller has the card, he should be able to set forth how he'll be selling his card. Any of you guys want folks here to tell you how you may and may not sell a card??


My auction of the Frank Isbell T206 has successfully concluded. 5 stars, nay 6 stars to Ed Woelfle. The auction closed at 10am CDT June 6, 2009. I had to wait 10 minutes for payment via Paypal (no, I didn't tack on a fee for him using that). I prepared an envelope, filled out a Deliv Conf receipt, and drove the package to the Post Office. Isbell was in the mail on his way to Ed by 10:50am, BEFORE window service closed. And Ed was notified via email of the Deliv Conf # by 11:05... 65 minutes.

I'll defer to RobD and let him advise everyone as to whether I'm about to do another auction on Net54, and if so when.

Golly, no need to defer to me, Frank. You do a fine job keeping everyone informed about your intentions and the day-to-day operations of your auctions.

I predict that if he ever travels to Kentucky, legal troubles will ensue.

Default a perfect scenario- "0" house rules

In a Utopian world (and my preference) there would be exactly "0" rules set by the house. I guess I would probably say, if I were a participant and had to say 1 thing....it would be only to allow each member to have one current, ongoing auction at a time. That would be common courtesy (not aimed at you Jon, as you are one of the most courteous folks on the board) in my humble opinion. Otherwise someone could literally start 50 raw T206's individually at the same time. This board is not set up for that nor will it be.
That being said......
Lets shoot for 0 rules "from above" and see how that goes?
