CJ Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am thinking of opening up next Sundays auction for the Ipad to everyone on the forum(s). The way I see it working is thus: Bids will be sent to me via PM. These bids will be a binding commitment to buy and the highest bid sent to me prior to the cut off time of 14.00 on Saturday 24th will be accepted. On the day, the people at the meet will be told that there are prior bids (much the same as at an auction) but not told how much that bid is. They can then bid on the ipad2 and if their bid is better than the PM bid then they win. If it is not and the PM bid is the highest then they win. I will have a list with me of the PM's that bid and can show that to an independent so that no one can accuse us of skulduggery. So, if I did this, would anyone be interested in bidding?

CJ Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 sorry to hijack, but is your 'Kill a Veilside and help Macmillan cancer care' thread still going and how long have i left before its closed? The kill a VS thread will go on until the Monday after the event as I want to make sure everyone sees the updated total. The Raffle page will close at 14.00 on the Saturday 24th.

grahamc Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Is it not perhaps worthwhile putting the iPad on a short eBay ad? That way bids are tracked, people can see what the highest is.... oh yes and open to more people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think its better and fairer to keep this open to those that already know about it (this forum and any others that Col has informed, as well as those who turn up on the day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ipad was given for the charity day and I would much rather a person off here or attendee on the day win it. You really need to stop thinking so much fella.
