Title: Auction format
Post by: RC Storick on June 01, 2006, 07:32:57 PM: I see you guys are holding a private auction for a Fox .35. Not a problem. The question is how would you like a auction format like the BAY here for Model related items only? I can set some auction software in play. Let me know on this thread and if there is enough interest in it I will.

My take is that it is a given as far as it being a success. I think ground rules should be in play as well. The really neat part would be if the forum could in some way be the clearing house for funds if it could be done without a hassle. Just like Pay-Pal the forum could take a small transaction fee that would promote the site and help defray the overhead.

i spent about ten years making custom pocket knives and i built the guillotine for a big knife show. it scared everybody. i couldn't understand. now it's on blocks in my basement gathering dust. i felt very misunderstood.

I think he's right on, I mean this is critical data so we could determine just which class it would fall into ~^

Post by: RC Storick on June 03, 2006, 07:05:25 AM: This is not where this thread was suppose to go. I guess no one is interested in the auction format. Two guy does not make a quorum.

It sounds like a good idea. Give it a few days before you decide.
Title: Re: Auction format
Post by: Bill Morell on June 03, 2006, 05:19:57 PM: Robert, I think that it is a very good idea. Once the idea catches on and you don't have guys going off on another tangent you might get better responces.

Post by: Warhawk on June 04, 2006, 11:14:03 PM: Robert, I am for an auction. Have a lot of nice stuff to sell before I become too crippled to get up and go to shop. Can't stand the thought of wife giving it away after I am gone.
