[Mccoypottery-talk] types of auctions??

[acp]

Ok.  Say you have 10 vases, all the same.  You create a "single" offer 
ad, but
put 10 in the quantity field and then what happens?    If people bid and 
there
are 10 items, then do the highest 10 bidders win the items?  Or what?

Also, I assume you are saying a multi-quantity ad costs the same as a 
single item ad
and so it costs the seller less to "sell" 10 items if they list them in 
a single ad?? Right?
