Returned Merchandise Bundle #2!!!

[Bruce]

OK,

another weekend auction; smaller this time as requested.

Bidding is now open and ends midnight EST Sunday

night.

Returned merchandise all (waiver on file required)

Those are 1,2,3 the top selling scented colognes for men. New they would retail for $170. Based on the

amount of product you are likely to get, I would say the value is about $120. Based on previous prices on used

stuff the value would be about $70. Let's start the bidding at $20. Do I hear $20.?

Don't forget to

register as an auction bidder if you haven't already. We can always get your waiver later if you

win.

Bruce, when can we get the returned

products page up? A lot of the old timers want to buy the stuff individually, like back in the day.

[Bruce]

BJF,

It might take a while.

I can't figure out how to make a private spot that folks can only get into from a link in the forum. (ie: wouldn't

appear somehow as an option to the general public storming in the front door). As it is now, the used items might

appear at any moment in the "What's new" area or "best sellers". I may have to resurrect the old shopping cart for

the job.

Hmmm....well, what about making one

of those private groups and figuring out something from there. Maybe a certain amount of reputations get you in,

and then you get access to the link in the private group?

That way it won't go to the fly by night forum

members.

[CptKipling]

Yeah I think those groups could

be the key, Bruce. Perhaps even haver it by invitation only based on things like number of (useful) posts, time on

the forum, posts in the last month, etc. It would definately be a good idea to encorage people to get involved and

be helpful, and it would be a shame to lose more good posters.

[bjf]

Yea, besides the reputation points, a

number of criteria could be set up. I guess the mods could look to see who fits the list of critiera. Would also

give something for people to strive for, thus raising the quality, participation and helpfulness if you know you

will be rewarded.

[Surreal]

I will like to open @ $20.

[belgareth]

Bruce,

What are the bid

amounts, whole dollars and minimum increase for this one? The same as before or lower minimum increase since the

total auction is less?

[Bruce]

Bel,

Good question. Yeah,

let's make it $5. this time.

So....
Do I hear $25.?

:-)

[Genesis]

how full are the bottles?

[Bruce]

From what I remember, they *average*

something over 2/3 full. Many are completely full for all practical purposes. Others are therefore less than 2/3.

None are less than 1/2 full. I think occassionally Tammy will throw in a couple bottles that are less than 1/2 full

to count as 1 bottle ordered.

[Bruce]

I thought that might end like that,

so I just wrote my "Bamm" post and sat with my mouse on the "post" link and waited for the clock to click over to

9PM (Pac time), and "click!" posted.

B

[Bruce]

I really had no idea who had one

until I saw my post load.

I really need to have the forum switched to record the exact date and time. Then I

wouldn't have to sit here exactly at 9 every Sunday night. :-)
