BST Auctions

[HercDriver]

It's easy to make suggestions when you have nothing to do with implementing them, but I was thinking that maybe it's time to divide the BST Auctions into multiple categories. For now, we probably just need something like pre-WWII and post WWII, or something like that. I don't think an excessive amount is necessary, but a couple categories would keep auctions from getting "buried" so quickly.

What do you think?

Take Care,
Geno

Amen, Geno!

I will take a look at that over the next few days. Thanks for the suggestion...I love hearing about things to make the board better and always listen.

And I just looked over there. One of our members just started approximately 12 separate thread, auctions at one time. That ain't gonna fly....that looks ridiculous in context of the rest of the people doing auctions. Maybe there does need to be rule about how many you can have open at one time?

"Maybe there does need to be rule about how many you can have open at one time?"

Thank you Leon, that suggestion is music to my ears. I personally would list more stuff for sale, but I get frustrated when my items fade quickly off the first page because of sellers listing so many different threads and constantly bumping them. How about a limit of one thread on the first page at a time? There's no reason every card needs a thread ...

I agree Chris...though I am thinking 2 auctions instead of 1 open at once. Actually, I had the number of 3 in mind but I could see the compromise between 1 and 3 . Hopefully we can hear some more thoughts on it. And my previous comment wasn't supposed to demean anyone but it does look ridiculous over there, right now.

Leon,

I think two is fine, but that looks brutal over there now. One member monopolizing that whole page is wrong. I think the auction section may need an overhaul like Geno suggested.

Best,

Andy

Sorry Leon that is me. I will put them in much bigger lots in the future. I will let these run through as they are as they have bids on them. Again, I apologize. I considered just the regular B/S/T, but I have a hard time resisting the auction method.

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.

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

Leon can I just take these down I would even to be willing to just sell them for the bids left on them. Let me know what you would like to do.

You didn't know and didn't realize, James.....maybe we could take them down and combine them. Whomever has bid will understand....Your call and thanks for your understanding.

And as for the conglomerate auction, dunno about that .

And to be slightly off point, please don't put your ebay auctions in the live auction area. There is a separate category for ebay auctions.

If you are selling 50's cards on ebay, please don't put these auctions in the 1950's category. Put them in the ebay auctions area.

If you have questions about an item, such as T206's, please don't post these questions in the tobacco card BST, they belong on the main board.

Now I feel better!

Thanks, Rick
