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

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.

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 ,,,

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 ?.

Frank

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

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

Do you want a full PHP auction scripted installed.

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

http://www.fishingozstyle.info/auction/

Looks the goodz OZ..

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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
