| | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | (...) 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.

I never have said that single-round sealed-bid auctions were the same as, or equivalent to, or even remotely the same as, straight sales. I _have_ been trying to (...)

They're named differently, and thus are not in the same equivalence class when partitioned by the partitioning function "allowed in market.buy-sell-trade?". The fact that this is their (...)

If one person calls you Lar and another Mr. P, that doesn't make Lar and Mr. P different people. Also, the groups do not form a partition. SBA/OBO is (...)

They also have the potential for other auction-ish abuses, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
