This sort of fell off my radar while scrambling around yesterday to get everything cleaned up.

We have 6 time slots for auction tomorrow (Christmas Day). Three have been filled, and I know it is @KCLJ520 @zlw1 @dragonslayer913 that have them and they are the 2pm/4pm/6pm slots (I think). We could use three more folks to fill in the last 3 slots.

12pm-2pm
2pm-4pm - filled
4pm-6pm - filled
6pm-8pm
8pm-10pm - @dragonslayer913
10pm-12am

Let me know and I will get an auction room set up for you. The three members mentioned above all have their rooms setup and ready to go. If you have questions, just let me know. Thanks.

So how does this work? Do you post a pic of the card(s) and bid through messages here?

Correct - the goal was to get 6 members to sign up for 2 hour auction slots. I than create a specific auction room in chat for each one. They would than list cards/pictures/prices - basically ebay, but here on the bench and the bidders are not hidden.

There is still time if anyone wants to jump on the last 2 slots. The original thread got snapped in the hack, so I am not 100% sure of when everyone is going, but I do know the 10pm-12:00am slot is still open, and I think the 12:00pm-2>00pm slot was open as well.
 
@KCLJ520 has his auction room open.

For those who haven't had the chance to visit our chat rooms:
For anyone coming in for the auctions - each of our sellers have their own auction rooms
you can click on browse rooms and that will take you to all available rooms

If you have any trouble finding them, let me know and will do my best to get you there.
 
I'll be using this post here to post the pictures of all the cards being listed as they are put up. Please use the chat itself to purchase the cards.
Please note: Shipping rates:
Shipping will be $1.00 for any card that can be shipped via pwe, and up to four singles for $1.50 non machine pwe. Thicker cards, etc will be exceptions and will be required to use padded mailers. Shipping rates for those will start at $4, and each additional card may not cost additional as long as it’s under 4oz.

Sorry for being a bit absentee - busy Christmas weekend.

The auction didn't get quite the traction I had hoped for or anticipated. But that doesn't mean it is not worth continuing. May just need to find a better time to run them than holidays. Completely open to suggestions on how to make them better for both buyers and sellers.
 
The auction was a good idea so to speak problem was on Christmas Day my time was 6-8 (tried to switch it but couldn't as the 8-10 spot was taken)
I had friends/family over for dinner and there was no way I could do it I tried but the wife was in my ear

For the New Years Day auction (keep in mind bowl games) set up the rooms like before but don't have times just let people roam room to room isn't like were all selling the same cards and PROMOTE IT
