Sure, I'll bet the whole system will run like clockwork now, all the problems have been solved by adding the 10 minute delay. |

| (no avatar) | One (but not all of the reasons) we switched to GB was the higher prices realized. Now AA is trying to equal the playing field in that area and I am watching it carefully to see where it is going. |

jakebucky- You must have named one of the competing auction sites. Or some personal information about yourself (email, phone etc.) |

| (no avatar) | The 10 minute rule was a bummer as I had discovered tonight. (staff edit) The sniper fun of buying here is DONE. Waiting for the 10 minutes to expire when the auction end is now a moving target is sad to see put in place. My goal here, if I did not win was to engage in the haggle with the seller and then it was down to reach a common agreement of buyer and seller both being happy on an agreed on price. Now with the moving target auction end that is gone to. On (staff edit) I bid without regard to the 15 minute rule and if I win, great and if I don't win and I am high bidder, then there is no haggle option to go to next in the buying process. I am not going to chase an auction end to try to reach the haggle phase. I have had far fewer victories here than over at (staff edit) and I have been at both sites for about 10 years. I am very upset about the 10 minute rule and I felt that the haggle bridged the difference in not having the 10-15 rule. I think it is a better rule for the seller in some cases. It ought to be a seller option whether or not to invoke the 10 minute rule and work with the haggle. Oh well it is here and I will have to switch to (staff edit) thinking when I come back to troll with much less expectations of a successful hunting expedition. I do like the forums here at AA as they are much more open and informative and easier to post. I have never posted on (staff edit) as the search topics are difficult to follow. AA wins the forum hands down, but I am still in shock about the moving auction end time. I really liked the live online auction portal, but now it is kinda meaningless as the auction end time is now a moving target. Bummer. Over & out. |
