Our own little auction

[Allen, Helen M]

I'd rather not auction.  Just a straight forward price.....like a garage
sale.  Since it will be items we have more than one of ...or no longer want
to hold on to, maybe a pretty good price break would be nice.  Don't expect
anyone to lose money, but a "good deal"  could be expected by all ?!!!!

	I agree; we should lay some ground rules. So how do you all invision
	this? I was picturing an image and/or description of the item(s)
next
	to an email address.

	Beyond that. . .
	We don't want an auction, but what other process? Shall we post the
	price we want for the item? Or, if we like an item, do we just email
	what we are willing to pay?--that would leave it up to the seller to
	choose who to sell it to. Does anyone have an idea for a "fail-safe"
	method of "winning" an item? Or does a first-come-first-serve work
	Online?--probably not.

	Jo, have you worked with bulletin boards, cgi, or the like? Do we
want
	to set it up as a bulletin board where all email messages on an item
	are posted? That would make it very similar to an auction--where you
	see what one person is willing to pay and either post that you will
	pay more or not.

	Ideas?
	Vanessa
