Hippy moderators

Whut next?

Not Canadians, that's for sure............

Gunner,
I'm not sure the format is appropriate for an actual auction style opportunity. Lack of recourse for "bidder" or "seller", non binding bids, are the first two concerns that come to mind.
Some Auctions have been done recently for fundraisers, and even those have had their own foibles. I know of a few winning bidders who paid there due, and never were shipped the item.
Without the deep layers of protection of an eBay, the only way I can see to protect both parties is to set up an Escrow/Holding Account. Not something I'm familiar with doing, but if the site owner feels it is warranted, I'm sure it can be researched.



Yes. I offered to straighten out the Classifieds, and just make it a little more clear, and concise.

My attitude went sideways let's pull the plug on this auction thing and no further bids accepted its going back on the shelf until I need it.

No. I like to think I'm dumb enough now.

I believe you were dumb enough long ago.

Mean spirited bastard.

If anyone is still interested in this saw, it is listed for $475 on AS, and FHC. No bidding, or secret reserve price involved.

 

[bryanr2]

saw that few days ago on AS. wondered why it wasn't here? OPE is where most of the buyers hang out.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I guess he don't like it here.

Just a suggestion sir, on FHC we shuffle all of the ads marked "SOLD" or "No longer available" to a sub-forum titled "competed ads". It greatly de-clutters the 1st page of the main classifieds forum and keeps more active listings on the 1st page. I do this manually on FHC but on a busier forum like this, perhaps there is a way to automate it?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think nature will take its course, and the completed ads will sink to the bottom. As the site gains traction, and the pace of the Classifieds increases, the rate of sink should increase as well.

I will however take a gander at the possibility of an Auto-move, after say 48 hours, to a Completed Listings Sub Forum.

Just wanted to say still waiting for funds to clear then I will change title to sold.
