Right. Let the madness begin.
Sellers:
This thread is for openings of auctions only, not for discussion, bids or anything else. The only posts that should be in this thread are people offering themselves for sale. One offer per post - if you're donating multiple 'products', then make a separate post for each. If possible, then see if you can keep the number of multiple products to a minimum, at most 2 per person. I think it'd be better to keep this as streamlined as possible. I'd prefer to have everyone offering one different thing, rather than everyone offering a wide range of the same things.
You need to nominate:
1) A title for the auction
2) What you're offering and any limitations like geography or prudishness.
3) Which charity and how the money of the winning bid needs to be delivered.
4) Starting and finishing time of the auction (3 days from start minute to finish minute)
5) The currency that bids will be accepted in. As the seller is effectively running the auction, they get to choose the currency.
6) Any other relevant info.
And remember sellers, Clear your PM inbox! Also remember you've got to update your auction with the best bid at the end of each of the three days.
Buyers:
Do not put bids in this thread! Or in any thread. This is a closed envelope blind auction and will be done via Private Messages and no other way.
If you want to bid, then send a PM to the seller (not to anyone else!), with the name of the auction in the title and the amount you're bidding in the message area. At the end of each day, the seller will update his/her auction to tell what the highest bid of the day was. If it wasn't you, well get back in there and see if you can beat everyone else's bids! It's all for a good cause.
Any disputes over bidding, payment, etc can be referred to me, but I sincerely hope we can do this with a minimum of chaos. <wishful thinking, I know>.
Let us begin.
