Speed Auctions [SpA]

16th Apr 2009 14:07 ---... What's that?
Auctions lasting only 1 to 20 minutes.
-----------------------
---... Why should one do that?
To make things more exciting! I guess.
-----------------------
---... How does it work?
Either set a time limit and let the bidding start from the moment on where you've posted your topic.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD:
Start the topic but let the bidding start a few minutes after that so others can look at what you want to auction first. Bids made before the offical start must not be counted.
-----------------------
---... How does it end?
Just post "Auction End" when the time's up. Any bids after your post must not be counted.
-----------------------
---... And what if I'm not content with the highest bid?
Either state in your first post that you might not sell if the price isn't right [IRTRNTS] or set the starting bid and the min. increase high enough.
Or be nice and give it even though it's not enough MP.
And of course if you once start with "Speed Auctions" [put "SpA" in your title to mark them] you can always do normal auctions as well. If you have something really, really great and you want as much MP as possible for it. For example.
