Great Idea

I think that this auction is a great idea I can't wait until it gets in to full swing. I am sure everyone will be able to pick up some great deals.

$5 increments

dan

this is a great idea and i appreciate all your hard work. one question: are $5 increments required or selected by the seller? it seems disproportionate for lower-value items and may tend to freeze out folks who would otherwise become actively involved in the bidding process. perhaps increments of $1 might be appropriate until the bidding reaches, say, $25.

10-4, I was thinking the same.

I am sure Dan will figure out how to change that!

My wife decided to get involved and put a 14 k Gold Ring up for auction.
She does a lot of jewelry auctions on E-Bay!

Give me an idea of what the ratio should be. I think I can change it by price. Meaning 1 to 24.99 24.99 to 49.99 and so on. Listing the increments for each.

Dan,
Here is a suggestion of bid increments.

Current Bid Amount ---- Increment
$0.01 - 0.99 --------------- $0.05
$1.00 - 4.99 --------------- $0.25
$5.00 - 24.99-------------- $0.50
$25.00 - 99.99 ------------ $1.00
$100.00 - 249.99 --------- $2.50
$250.00 - 499.99 --------- $5.00
$500.00 - 999.99 --------- $10.00
$1000.00 - 2499.99 ------ $25.00
$2500.00 - 4999.99 ------ $50.00
$5000.00 and up --------- $100.00

Something like should keep the bidding interesting and fun.

I changed the increments, they range from .05 to 50.00 that range is mixed in with amounts from 1.00 to 10.000

Justin,
Good points that you brought up about ebay's auction compared to this auction.

This auction site never really took off but I guess it could still be used here for anyone that wants to sell a powerwashing item to one of us in this bb family. Aside from that I don't pretend to know how they can make this Auction site really take off.

Like you said 4 yrs ago it probably would have done well but back then life was so different, the stock market was nuts and most of us didn't have a worry in the world. Then came 9/11...............

Justin,it reads as tho you may have ideals on how to make Dan's auction better,I'm sure with your input he'd listen.I'm not a seller nor buyer at auctions,if I don't need it I'd rather give it away

Maybe it would work better if the forum was a Sale,Buy,Trade plus auction.Some items for sale may be to little to put on the auction block,like 10 dallors,20,50,or trade,the bigger items still could be put on the chopping block.It may work better if you start a thread on small items for sale,buy or trade,just a thought.
