Mentioned in another thread that I may be able to get some tackle that cant be re-sold as new to the retail shops

Now I have to ask 1st but was toying around with a few idea's one of which was to have the items here on Auction with a reserve price hidden away from you guys.

Now that reserve would be hidden so as none of you know what the item owes & anything above that reserve price will go into a pot until a suitable charity can be nominated.

Think that's pretty fair dont you's ??????????????

Just curious how many would be interested in such a thingy ??????????????????

Do we PM you with our price or can others see what we nominate?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 22 2008, 09:56 PM

Nope you bid in the thread nominate for that item for all to see

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Mar 22 2008, 10:03 PM

Its all a good idea..

but seeing how much we each bid could cause some disagreements over price and outbidding each other? I dunno?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 22 2008, 10:10 PM

Nope all bidding has to be done in full view of everyone elseI may get accused of cheatering

Why should there be any disagreements over price ???

You want it then you outbid the other people simpl;e as that

If reserve has not been met then I pull the item

Anything over reserve goes to charity

So to stop any arguements your excuse is that you're donating to charity

yep yep... fair call..

Im in.....

First item can be a 10kg Jig Stick!!!

Posted by: jack Mar 22 2008, 10:55 PM

Actually a 4-6/8 kg graphite to match my newly accuired 2-4 kg would be nice :-)

Wont work like that Jack

The gear I'm refering to will be stuff with scratch's rods needing guides replaced [ which I'll do prior to offering them]

I may however put some of my own personal stuff up as well think there's way to much here & I'll never use it.

Same deal apply's I'll have a reserve on it & anything over that reserve price goes to charity.

Think that's fair ??????????????????????

Think it may get some of those lurkers registering on the site as well

Posted by: Bees Knees Mar 22 2008, 11:27 PM

I'm interested.. 1 guide in 2 of my rods went today!! Hurry up

Do you have lurkers??

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 22 2008, 11:34 PM

All sites have Lurkers Bee's

Peep's who only look never register or post

Give those guys something of interest & they'll join in esp if they think they can get something for a bargain

I'm sure that if you go to the chemist, they will have ointment for that.

OMG, Fishing Oz Style version of E-bay and you can add comments.

It's a good idea.

Just a suggestion for a charity, Ronald McDonald House.
I really feel sorry for "out of town" parents of sick kids having to pay for accomodation while having to deal with a sick kid. Bloody Doctors bills cost enough.

Just out of curiosity, are the people here after the high end gear, eg. graphite rods, or do some of you want mid range glass rods?
I bought a really nice Viva 6' glass rods for my son, and the quality is excellent for the price.

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Mar 23 2008, 01:46 AM

bit of everything is good! some variety.. rods, reels.. then you can just buy what you want....

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 23 2008, 01:52 AM

Only those who have purchased or sold something will have the option to nominate a charity

I'll then set up a poll & those who've purchased can vote.

sounds good ,,great idea jump

Posted by: Sir Reel Mar 23 2008, 05:15 PM

Welcome aboard NetPez



I'm always looking for a bargin.

How would payment be made Paypal?
Do we leave feedback on seller ? :o
Can we sell stuff too?

Posted by: Phil Mar 23 2008, 05:45 PM

Take a photo of the money and post it on the thread.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 23 2008, 05:49 PM

By all means Sir Reel but you'll be required to nominate a reserve price to me or oz not out in public

Anything over that price goes to charity after all that's what the concept will be



That's entirely up to the seller

Having said that I'm not one for credit cards , paypal etc they take a % for the service think direct deposit into ones account isthe way to go.

I know we all live all over the place & anything I sell I will make very clear that it's up to the buyer to make arrangement to pick up the goods.

Small items can be posted no probs but in the case of rods etc one has to think b4 bidding cause couriour costs have to be factored in.

Posted by: jasonb Mar 23 2008, 05:52 PM

you could allways start a feedback section ,but it may cause arguements ,,maybe we could send payment to a nominated person and they could pas it on ,that way theres no confusion and proof for both parties ,,,i know it could be a hassle doin it that way but it would be safer ,,,

Posted by: nimrod Mar 23 2008, 06:22 PM

Although I pretty well have all the gear I need, there is often items I see that I want.
So bring it on, and IF you don't want and are not willing to pay for, DON't bid on items.

Come to think of it there are items I need. A fish smoker for 1, but I doubt one of those will come up
for auction.

When is this going to start ?.

Yep Yep dont think we need feedback

And if anybody isn't happy with the way they've been treated by a seller all you need to do is send a pm to either oz or myself explaining what has happened & if need be the seller wont be able to sell in the proposed auction forum again.

Dont think that will happen considering we're not a bunch of strangers

Your Wish is My Command

Posted by: Bees Knees Mar 23 2008, 07:10 PM

Jeez your quick Jumpy..

I just read Franks post and i'm thinking fish=smoking=something funny... Look down and its been done..

Back to the top of the class for you fella

Posted by: oz man Mar 23 2008, 07:19 PM

Do you want a full PHP auction scripted installed.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 23 2008, 07:41 PM

Not sure what you mean oz ?????


I was just thinking of putting each item up as a thread , that way peeps can also discuss the items no different to any other thread.

I was also going to add a little banner in the smileys option Bid
So as not to confuse who's bidding & who's not.

Think these threads can also generate conversation

I'm just about to take off to my oldies place I'll take the camera & see what gear I dont want anymore that I can RIP you guys off with

Whoops meant to say find new homes for

Think a new Forum & title for it may be in order with the buy & sell moved into it & a new sub forum called Auctions added

Looks the goodz OZ..

Could prob be simpler to start, unless we end uo with heaps of items?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 23 2008, 08:27 PM

Lacks the option to discuss items & that's what these boards are about

Also you may have to register that link as a buisness & lodge financials every year

Posted by: jasonb Mar 23 2008, 10:24 PM

i dont think we need the option to discuss things ,if the seller puts the best discription they can that should be all it needs ,that way it wont get to confusing on whos bidding and whos yakkin

Posted by: MartinF Mar 24 2008, 05:00 AM

this was already mentioned in one of the auction threads but I think there should be a set time for the auction to run. That is fair for all parties (seller and buyer).

Not much point in putting a bid in if the auction might stay up for 6 more months.

Since there is a reserve on the auction there really is no reason not to. If the auction doesn't sell at a price over the reserve after the initial time, just extend it by another week, or take it down and put it back up at another time.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 24 2008, 05:27 AM

Yep Yep Bunyip Man

Was actually thinking about it earlier when it was mention

I sus'd up all the angles

You're correct as were some of the others , no good an item staying on sale for a month if the person who'd bid on it spent their $$'s elsewhere

Think 10 days is fair & if the item dosn't reach it's reserve all reply's can be deleted & it can start all over again.

I will start a new thread 2morrow which peeps can give feedback on the way the items are auctioned off it's a bit of trial & error @ present

Posted by: MartinF Mar 24 2008, 05:34 AM

hahaha just saw the title now, thanks for that

Sounds good to me mate! Think the idea itself is great, I might actually have to put a bid in now!

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 24 2008, 05:37 AM

May whack a couple of my old LBG rods up for you

Oldies but were great for their day & still pretty good by todays standards once I wipe the dust off them
