Hello Thought you had something for sale and not setting up your own little Auction house here in buy/sell/trade, what you are doing here is wrong, and absolutly in the wrong place, want to Auction, put it in an Auction house where i can see if i (...)

(...) I agree with you, but we're in the minority. Todd has decided that OBO (or best offer) sales (sealed bid auctions) are not auctions in the meaning that the ToS uses and therefore are allowed here. There are a lot of posts discussing this in (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Hmmm, so, if I email him an offer of $10/set, he doesn't get to post the list again (this is the fourth go-round), because that would mean it's not really an "OBO" sale?

(...) If the seller uses offers to solicit progressively higher offers, it's an auction. If the offers stay independent of one other, it's not an auction. (SBA's and OBO's aren't true auctions in the spirit of what makes an auction an auction.) (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)

Hello Todd Sorry you see it that way, but i don't, a sealed bid is a normal item used by the biggesat auction houses in the world, both Sotheby's and Christies use it, they are just called sealed bid auctions and not O.B.O.s. To me its just a let me (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) I don't think it's realistic to expect people to put OBO's in the .forsale.auction group.
