    Live Auction Improvements

    I had the same problem with falling asleep during the auction as some of the other members.

    It may make sense to cut the initial bid time down to 5 seconds and following bids to 10 seconds. Quickening the pace would be a benefit.

    Remove proxy bidding to force real live attendance or remove the word Live from the title.

    quote from previous thread:

    In my opinion the live auction can be used as a tool for growth and continued marketability. In an effort to accomadate growth outside the resellers only market, it is my belief that the minimum for the live auction should be $15. We are all here to make money. It does not do any one of us good to sell a name for $1. The upside is that it forces resellers to do their homework and not register garbage. Leaders direct and implement change, it is time for this forum to drive the value of a domain up before enormous traffice comes to this site.


    These should be fairly easy changes to make for this weeks auction. Give it a shot as we really have nothing to lose at this point.

    Do not take away proxy - I'm just not up to being awake for an auction at 2am!
    If I don't want it, it's over-priced or it's rubbish I'm not going to buy it - either by proxy or when present.
    At any auction you start from nothing and the "item" finds its market value - if the seller wants he places a reserve that he won't sell under - it's the same here!
    Maybe more would attend at a different day/time but that's another issue - maybe it's just that we attend/proxy when we see something we want.

    Alrighty! My eyes are now open ... let's see if we can get this wreck of a train ride back on course here, and in short order!
    Thanks for the update, WH.
