Major change: Auction / Live Auction being added

[Dale Hubbard]

Now might be the time to earn some revenue for the forum with this. I'd happily pay a nominal sum for a listing in a 'paid' auction category where perhaps the auctions scrolling along the top of the landing page are coloured. SP seem to be doing OK with it, and that has lots of room for improvement.

Might be an idea also to colour a basic listing title according to its status; e.g.:

As is: No bids
Green: Has bids
Red: Ending in 4 hours with bids

Lots of combinations of options.

Great ongoing development -- congrats.

I think you should make it so people can edit their own auctions since I had wanted to add something to my description but I couldn't.

Seems like there is much less activity on DNF now that these changes have been implemented. Just my observations as a daily visitor for a few years.

Also, I note that some people are able to create "offers wanted" forum threads, but when I click to post a new thread, I'm forced to the auction system (... a system which I still don't like very much at all).

Personally, I'd really like to see the auctions an option and the "offers wanted" forum go back to what it was.

Best wishes,

It seems there was some confusion.

The BIN is not referred to as the reserve price.
There is no reserve option as of yet.
We have contacted the programmer of the software to see if we can have some custom work done.

Will post an update asap.

If the open price is not a reserve, does that mean noone is obliged to sell thier name, no matter how many bids, or how much the open price is?
What about Open Price "Best Offer"?
Does that mean the owner is just seeking offers and the domain need not be sold no matter what the offers are.

It seems it is possible to ignore the new auction system and use the old auction format
e.g. http://www.dnforum.com/f150/10-domai...ad-157468.html

I like the "Buy It Now" image
looks familiar

Any news on the live Sunday auctions?

Well since it's August 16th and it was suppost to start on July 6th, I will go out on a limb and say no.

when i first got hooked on domain names ( 2003 ), the sunday night chat style auction was fascinating and compelling.

i heard it may return, i am away from these boards now becuase it became a garage sale of .info's

i'm checking it out again and would love to see sunday auctions!!

thanks

During that time, Gregr did a good job managing the auction. And he sell quality domain names e.g. 3 letter and premium names.
