3800 how would...

[ThaLord]

How would you guyz like to see auction software.. sort of like Ebay.. but.. localized to this grand prix club.. people could set auctions with various settings .. such as reserve.. length of auctions.. bid increments.. and so on...


Would you guyz actually use it?

it could be cool... but i wouldn't use it....

Personally (this is just my opinion... and based only on my previous experiences.. I don't know how other boards operate) ... I don't like the bidding process on message boards..

for years I was used to .. you post something and the price you want... then someone will low ball you and you negotiate... but once a sale is locked in that's it...

It wasn't until I got my GP that I saw this going to the highest bidder stuff start... good idea for seller... but for people like me... I'll offer a price... take it or leave it... I don't feel like watching it worrying about being overbid...

so while it seems like many people would use it... i personally would not

agreed

It would be cool but would hose the buyer. So sellers would like it and people buying really wouldnt.

What you guys must realize is that the auction process is the unfortunate way things happen in this community. John is not saying he agrees with it but is offering a way to make an unfortunate situation a little better.

If the seller doesn't sell it here, he'll sell it elsewhere and people that want to get rid of items for a set price would still have a means to do so I assume.

IMO, it's an improvement.

I have to agree with Horist on this one, I understand ThaLord is trying to add some stuff that could simplify selling items on ilgpc.com. I prefer the "old school" means! I like where someone posts something up for sale and either states a price they want to get or says "make me an offer" Once an offer is made you and the seller are in agreement on a price and it is your item. I am not one for this I'll outbid by a $1 so I get the item.

If it is something that is valuable and useful for this club I am for it and will try to use it. I just prefer the old method of verbal agreement and payment upon pickup.
