[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Another thought for the EE, Auction?

Posted: 11/10/2019 3:20:20 PM EDT

I've always had a few items over the years, I want to sell. But seems I price my items and don't get any interest. Then I lower my price and still nothing. So I give up, and usually sell off of eBay. But I really don't like supporting people who want to restrict my constitutional rights.

If we were allowed to run auctions, it would keep that money away from eBay and PayPal.

My guess is you must make the auctions start at $1, because like eBay, if you list an auction and start the bidding at $200, then it really makes no sense to have an auction. Depending on the item as well.

Nope, i like the fact its not auction site. I dont belong to ebay, even with buy-it-now listings.

Put up a poll if possible

Poll Added.

Just wondering why you don't like auctions?

My thought was to give people an option that didn't want to come up with a price for their item, whatever it sells for is the price.

Would be a nightmare for the EE mods imo.

Pretty sure this would never happen

Simply put OBO in the ad. Ive been here awhile, plenty of EE transactions. I like the simplicity of it

No thanks. That’s why I avoid gunbroker.

ETA: if we could ever get a system to know whether or not pictures are posted in an ad before clicking, that’d be great.

I just take it down after a while, raise the price, and put it back up. It mostly works.

Last few items got no joy on arfcom, but I sold them all at a yard sale.

No, but I do want a "Photo" icon on EE posts if the seller has included a photo.
