MSSNAFU Posted September 3 Posted September 3 (I did search before posting and am surprised no one has asked before) Wouldn't it be a good idea to add an Auction section in the Classifieds? for people like myself who have boxfulls of stuff to move on. Or would it be too difficlt to integrate it with the site?
Moderators Popular Post Tackle Posted September 3 Moderators Popular Post Posted September 3 Even if it was possible, No, definitely not, as they are the classifieds are as straightforward as they can be, while your reasons are clear due to the nature & circumstances of what you're selling, that would encourage some greedy sellers to push for a bigger payday on maybe rarer items etc, & if they didnt get the windfall they hoped for, who's gonna force them to ship the items ? it's a free forum with free classifieds, the mod team are all volunteers & we have enough work keeping the scammers out & keeping some semblance of order amongst the rest of you reprobates 😜 BigStew, MSSNAFU, Jedi_Master and 3 others 5 1

Popular Post ButcherBill Posted September 3 Popular Post Posted September 3 You could consider the classifieds as a 'Dutch Auction'... market prices set the base line & the seller adjusts/lowers the price until they find a buyer. in theory only greedy sellers will lose out.

It's the old eBay syndrome where prices are pushed up because of greed. HZR13, Tackle and Cannonfodder 2 1
