This will be my first auction...looks like fun and more importantly to support the awesome efforts of St.Jude's.  Better start saving up for this! Those cookies must really be special....I know! Hands off the cookies! lol

OK guys,

I saw the announcements, I looked at the four different forums, but for the life of me I can't see any difference in their content. Why are we using four forums for bidding?  

[Terry Green]

The forums - 1 through 4- contain different items, and all start at the same time, but end different days....pay attention to the description of the individual forums in black lettering underneath the forum name.

I guess you missed the thread about having 4 forums....let me see what I can find.

""Had some chat and great input from Mitch Walker on the Paradise Hunt about how to get to $100,000 on the next auction.

I've kicked around his idea, and came up with a thought myself on how to go about it....gonna try and explain this the best I can, and I'd like to have some of ya'll input as to how you think it would work. I ran it by Doug this morning, and I think we are off to a good start.

OK...1st we make an 'Entry Forum' where all entries are entered, and a strong plea for all items to be entered before the auction opens. This will be open for listings by all members.

We create Auction Forum 1, Auction Forum 2, Auction Forum 3, and Auction Forum 4 that are all separate, and all have the same start date, but have a different end date. Auction Forum 1 will end, and a day later 2, and a day later 3, and a day later 4.

These will be a read only forums till its time to turn them on. Doug and I will move listings from the Entry Forum as they come in to the other 4 forums as we see fit, so that each forum carries a few of the big ticket items.....take for instance hunts...each forum would have at least one hunt, and then we'd start back over....same with other big ticket items...and separate knives, arrows, bows in the 4 forums.

This way if someone gets out bid on a hunt lets say, they can bid on another one the next day. Same with other items. This will allow folks to still have a chance donate even if they loose out on a particular item.

This will also allow those that have a set amount to actually get to donate again and again instead of loosing out on the single day as before.""

Thanks Terry.

[Terry Green]

The number at the end of each listing on the general forum is the bid forum it was moved to.
