Suggestion: eBay sticky to avoid cross-bidding.

Oh stuff it then. Was just an idea.

Steve,
I wasn't trying to kill your plan - I think the idea's great, but I was just trying to help point out possible pro's & con's to help find the best way of working it.

I apologise, of course, as I didn't intend for you to react like this.
No more comment from me on this.

Sorry Chris, it's me who should appologise. :grouphug:

Probably replied at a bad moment after dealing with an e-mail at work from someone in Compliance who has the annoying habit of say why we can't do things rather than suggesting ways in which we can.

Still think that the PM bit is probably the best option as I don't imagine there will be that may cases where a whole bunch of us are chasing the same item.

Acknowledge your point about drawing attention to items that people may have missed however.

Correct. I would never ever disclose anything i'm intending bidding for.

Guys,

Let's keep it positive. Personally, I think Steve's idea is a good one, and works in the right circumstances, so could I ask that if you don't think it's for you, simply to make no comment and leave the thread for others to use who see the advantages in having this facility?

Cheers! :cool:

Marco.

Are there any legal issues that might arise from introducing such a mechanism to the board?

Like What?

Rigging an auction?

I don't know. I am not a lawyer.

I think steve might have started this topic after seeing this or maybe not

Where i was pulling Guillaume leg over his Onix amps defeat..Steve may have took post No.9 literally where as it later comes apparent on post No.10/11 that i was just having a bit of fun..But it's a perfect example of why it's not a great idea to tell what you intend to bid for..I could have easily seen this threat & bid against Guillaume.
