think we need some guidelines for bidding... lead forumers to the correct path and avoid any future misunderstanding and unhapiness. with reference from one of the top local forum...

Bidding procedures
1. There will be no reserve price. Your start bid price will be considered as your reserve price. If you want to put your item for bid, the highest bidder will get the item.

2. Every Bid has to be posted here. Private messaging and sms will not be recognised. This is the privilege of being a member here. And this will also ensure transparency. Please accompany all bids by a contact number. This can be posted or by private messaging if one is not comfortable with his contact number shown.

3. All defects and condition of item is to be correctly listed. For any item not as described, bidder can ultimately reject the item upon viewing. Eg scratches on casing not described. Or maybe your watch has slight dent etc

4. Collection date and place to be listed accordingly. If you cannot meet the collection date/place, please do not bid as you'll then be listed as an aeroplane buyer.

5. Closing Time will be SG-ROC time. Bidding should not exceed nine days from the time of posting.

6. Sellers should not withdraw their sale prematurely.

7. Doublenicks that are used to boost the sales on the bidding will be disabled and exposed accordingly, so please do not try.

8. Optional : Sellers can list a " buy now price ". This is defined as a price where the moment it is reached, all bidding will stop and the item considered sold. This is also the highest price the seller expect from the item.

9. Optional : whenever possible, sellers should put in a picture of their item for sale.

10. Bidder please asks question at sales thread before bid

Pretty good idea.... planning to enforce for 'bidding sales' to be transparent so that all will know. But then, i tink too many stuff to enter also problem (eg, if got pic, alot of fields will be redundant)..... and also, seller can withdraw sale prematurely if they have valid reasons. I'm sure if a seller keeps withdrawing his/her sale, buyers will ultimately stay away right.

first of all, appreciate TS for general guideline.

as for clones nick to up bid price, hard to 'catch' and verify. too much work involved.

think it is easier to have a selling price and let buyers negotiate from top down rather than bottom up(bid system).

why? because price may escalate out of control. if there is no buy now price, not fair to buyers if another buyer bid artifically high price.

if want bid then it is a MUST to have BUY NOW PRICE. failure to state a buy now price, mods to close thread. this is similar to that of yahoo and ebay where buy now is stated, else cannot post.
