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.

Robert,

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.

RC Storick · « **Reply #5 on:** June 02, 2006, 06:18:55 AM »

If it will fly yes. Otherwise no.

Frank,

Wow, and you say you built one? put some wings on it and post that puppy pronto

Marv

P. S. accent striping and a skirt could be options for additional points

frank carlisle · « **Reply #7 on:** June 02, 2006, 11:50:09 AM »

yeah i really built one.
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.

Is it OTS legal or Classic? Wing area? Engine? Silkspan or silk or Iron on?

Frank,

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

Marv

Oh, just in case someone else might be interested, what does she weigh wet?

RC Storick · « **Reply #11 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.

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2006, 07:59:57 AM »

Robert,

It sounds like a good idea. Give it a few days before you decide.

Bill Morell · « **Reply #13 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.

Now Frank you see what you did?? For shame...

Yep, it was you 'n I watched ya do it

Also, the Admiral seems to be short reining

But I still think the swaperoo with Buzzwhatizzname could work.
Maybe we should chime in some more. Little, Paging Mr. Little, We want an auction catagory please

Do we need pictures? I have good stuff to sell, but, no digital camera anymore. I am for a auction forum. DOC Holliday

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.
