Scott-Auction only or auction and swap?

[AZreefkeeper]

Scott do we want to just auction or should we have a 1/2 hr to an hour of just trading and buying?

I understand that if its an auction everyone will have a chance at getting a piece but if some people wanted to trade ahead of time and use this as a means to arrange it I think that would be fine. Perhaps it could be at the end so what ever didn't sell in an auction could be offered up to everyone that didn't win an auction.

Thoughts ?

BTW I like that, OCTOBER FRAG FEST....:lol:

I like the sell/trade, then auction whats left format, goes quicker.

Two events ago, we did the sale first, then auction. It worked well and we repeated the the process for the last event.

However, I and others had a difficult time setting prices for fear of being too high. It is just easier to auction and let the market of people decide what an item is worth. Nothing was sold during the SALE and we went straight to the auction.

I am open to anything, as long as it is preplanned so I can prepare.

We could set a time for the auction and have a seperate thread for trading, if people don't want to stay for the auction or trade they can leave. Say first hour for people to look over and trade/sell and then start the auction.

So I think a thread for:
Equipment to trade/sell first hour
Corals/fish to trade/sell first hour
I think if the above are prearranged it shouldn't take an hour.
and the a thread to showcase what will be auctioned, we can set these threads up in the next few days.

what do you think?
