<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 646037, member: 112&quot;]There is another thing that has not been mentioned. What about the unwritten rule, or courtesy if you prefer, of one member not bidding against another ? Set up an auction section and that goes POOOF !</p><p><br /></p><p>Something else to consider about the auction format. How many of you have ever participated in regular auctions amongst a group of friends, club members, or a community like this ? Not many I&#039;ll wager. Do you know what typically happens ? The auctions receive very limited attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why ? Because everybody is always looking for a deal, or steal if you prefer. Thus bids always, and I mean always, stay on the very low, sometimes even insulting, side of the scale. The result of that is that nobody, or only a few, even bother to offer anything up for auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t believe it ? Well ask any member of WINS, there are plenty of them here on this forum. I&#039;ve been a member of WINS for 9 years now, and the situation I describe has been the case without exception. People have to be <u>begged</u> to offer items in the auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anything is done, a revamping of the Open Forum is what gets my vote.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
