I would suspect a 'pack' will price people out of the running rather quickly. It would be nice if you could bid on individual pieces.

The ability to buy individual pieces would be great, that way if one liked a few pieces then bids could be made all those pieces, but if only one piece was wanted then the person could just buy that piece.. If done in a pack will shipping be included?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am thinking I will make one pack available, and then I can do a separate thread for a few special indivual frags........I can update the site later... Both individual frags and the frag pack will be done in the next week so these sweetheart frags can be in your tank well before the holidays.

Regarding prices, should buyers post their prices in a thread (publicly) or send them to me privately?

Publicly. It will help some of us decide whether or not we can afford them.

Why not use ebay and post a link here. It seems like the easiest solution, you'll only get serious inquiries, the time frame you want, you can set minimum bid, easy current bid tracking, no clutter, and overall a proven system.

I don't think a forum will work for auctions, maybe it's just me but I see issues already.

I dont like the whole idea of an "auction" being conducted on a message board. Saying that,

If you go with secret bids, I would want to see an impartial 3rd party keeping track of the bids. I would suggust making the bidding process public with the bidders posting bids in a specific thread, and not relying on PMs to get the bids in.

I agree on publicly bidding.

Public viewed bidding. It will make for much less overlap in bids you get to your message box.

People are going to complain since someone will likely wait until the last minute and post a price 1 dollar higher than the last bidder right when the auction closes. There really isn't anything you can do about that, just bid as high as you want and don't feel bad if someone out bids you.

I appreciate the opportunity you are trying to provide Canreef, plus this will draw people who want these corals to sign on to Canreef. It's a win/win situation in my opinion. Of course people are going to try and make it complicated, but that just seems to be the way of the internet forum.

I think it's a great idea Dave, and I know I'll be bidding!

Cheers,

Scott
