Yeah, that's sketchy.

carpetbagger very interesting name none the less in the south! Very Reconstructionist!

Fer sure. I know vec didn't put new users can't bid in the OP, but I doubt he adds that bid to the list.

Looks like I'm moving on down instead of up 😔!

my comrades and i wanted to do Abe lincoln proud. And now i want to do ronald reagan proud by killing some commies!!

silly me I thought u came to rebuild to rebuild the south after the civil war.

Been there, done that

O RLY?

We would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those pesky scalawags...

What?

I'd love to hear what ideas you have.  I don't see how saying "it will end in the month of March" would help.  People would assume it would last until the end of March, and then wait until the last minute to bid.  If we ended it early, they would get upset that we implied that it would be running until the end of March.

I agree, it is certainly not a perfect auction style, but I honestly don't know how to change it to better anything.

What are people's main gripes?  That they don't get a second chance to bid?

I am not bidding but I would like to ask a question. What, precisely, is the reason for not allowing one to make more than one bid? And, for the record, I completely agree with everything else that has been stipulated, as we all live in a free country.

I think the single bid thing has to do with the fact that this is a multi-item auction. People are bidding for one of 25 items so the auctioneer is getting the best bids out of the bidders rather than the lowest bids. I posted an example but I think it's pretty self explanatory.

Unless you prove not to be an already existing user *cough*Jules337*cough* , your bid will not be approved by the Ministry of Propaganda.

Cory, you do realize it's against the rules to make multiple accounts, right?

Always thought a clever way would be have a "reserve" in mind for the last copy. You don't have to disclose it.

To couple that idea, you would also disclose that if there is not a bid made for X hours (lets say X is 24 hours), then the auction ends.

So, the auction ends in 2 ways.
1. Reserve met for last copy
2. Time expires from last bid.

That would at least let the bidders know that there is a definite line in the sand.

Wow this auction is definitely intriguing there seems to be many new members who are interested in this item!

That's a clever idea, but then it just seems like it's up until the money's made. I promise you there was a date discussed and set for the end of this auction before it started. Also it's only been 5 days, it's not like it's been up for a month.

@khan

Yeah that is my main complaint. I "thought" the bidding was going to stay low so I bid accordingly. But in the end, I bid the maximum amount i wanted to pay anyways. My only suggestion would to have a "minimun" day limit ie auction will be for at least 4 days or something- but then again it might not work, because then no one would bid for those 4 days.

Bidding could also be silent as well via pm. Not sure gow that would work though.

Its really not that big of a deal. I am just happy that you guys are releasing quality stuff for the NES. I will be just fine with a regular copy.

PS it sucks some douche had to come in and get in all pissy with second account bullshittery.

Honestly, I don't care how people auction off their items. If I want to bid on it, I will abide by their rules. I was just tossing out a format that could be unique (maybe?).

Anyways, Best of luck with the end of the auction. I'm a cheap ass, so KHAN pretty much bid me out with his bid.

$19 even!
