Anyone else noticed that this forum is for Offers and not Auctions? You can't take "bids" eBay style.

Fine line. A "bid" is just another name for a "public offer". Semantics, really.

So we have separate forums for the purpose of entertaining semantics?

Basically.

Most "offers" threads either a) request private offers, or b) do not have a hard deadline. If an thread requesting offers DOES allow for BOTH public offers and strict deadlines, it has basically become an auction. However are these public offers based on a strict deadline any less offers than private offers, or ones for which no deadline exists?

In other words, an bid is a specific type of offer. Therefore, an "auction" forum is basically a subset of an "offers" forum.

That's my take anyway. Mods/admins may certainly disagree.
