Title: How about drug auctions? eBay style. With bidding.
Post by: punkst0ner on August 31, 2012, 06:15 pm
I think it's a good idea, and probably been suggested before.

Id rather just pay a set price, or "buy it now", lol.

I would be willing to partake in lets say a weekly or monthly lotto type auction where a successful vendor is willing to start an auction for a DOC at lets say .001BTC and see how high it gets. Could be fun.

Yea... I don't think vendors would be to keen on that idea if for some reason they make less than they are making now and buyers wouldn't like it if they are paying more than they are paying now...

As a user who is prone to time-outs while using SR, I don't think I could participate in a fast-paced bidding system.  I think sellers would end up making less because someone willing to pay more could not connect or submit their bid in time.

I don't like ebay auction bidding mode, massive waste of time and emotions.
sit like a fool, and wait for days when you win or not, monitoring constantly and outbidding people
BUY NOW is the best thing, quickly to compare and quickly purchase things
