Conducting auctions on the B/S/T

RobD,

I have to ask, do you know for a fact that I do a good job about keeping everyone posted about my auctions, or is that merely your opinion??? (For those that don't recall, I learned that inquiry from RobD.)

And if you answer, are you answering for those that used to post here but now either don't or seldom do because of the comments and posts of yours? Or are those folks you've chased away excluded from your answer?

Cockfighting is generally found to the east and the south of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Maybe you could just give it a break for a while...

Frank,

I based that statement on what I've read in your posts on the board. So, no, it's not my opinion. It's what I've seen in black and white.

Edited to add that the cockfighting references weren't mine.

No Sir, RobD,

Merely you being informed from reading a post of mine in black and white is non-responsive as to whether whether I'm doing a good job informing others, that only lets me know as to whether you know.

So again, do you know that I'm doing a good job for the others, or is that merely your opinion? And do you include in those others the folks that you've chased away?

You need more than a nap.

I take full credit for the rooster/chicken remark. I will try to refrain in the future (key word there is "try")...

Golly, Frank, I'm surprised at you.

Tell you what, it's too nice of a day to waste getting into a peeing match with you. You go ahead and get the last word in, which will make you feel good and will prevent me from possibly chasing even more folks away.

Have at it.

Only 24 hours or so in existence, and already 12 live auctions. Pretty darn good if you ask me.

I saw some guy in a Cleveland Indians jersey chasing two people down the street today telling them not to buy from my garage sale. Was that you, Rob? Damn, and I thought we were friends...

I think the BST auctions are going to be a good thing going forward. With eBay getting stupider and less wonderful by the day, thanks to silly rules and ratings and whatever they are smoking at HQ, the timing on this is good.

Leon, just as a guide, how many members does the forum have? This should give some idea of the potential universe of bidders. Did you mention about 1,100 a couple of weeks ago?

Looks like we are up to 1351 members.

Many of those 1351 members are trolls that are immediately banned. For some stupid reason there are people who write scripts to register on Vbulletin chat boards (such as this one) for no apparent reason..Those go straight into a banned folder, which I manually do.....There are just about 1000 good, registered members today...
