Auction System

[kjmz]

Hi,

This is my second suggestion for NamePros and hopefully this one goes a little better. Here it is:

I propose to have a better auction system. The system won't actually be a forum but a system like ebay's. This way people actually enter an amount and there are no bad comments on the domain. You could have one forum with auctions from other sites and then you could have the auction system. I couldn't find any other site that has this but I know there is some because I used one once and it was really good. This would make the auctions much more effective since you could have a starting price, BIN, etc. so then people would know the sellers are serious.

Just another suggestion by me. All thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

I actually think this could be a Great idea for possibly the "Domains For Sale - Auctions" and a Part of "NameBucks (NP$) Sales & Auctions".


Upside :
1) Great Idea to Eliminate some sales/auction crashing and Irrelevant post ~
2) The seller would have to be required to Provide "ALL" pertinent Information on the Item up for Auction ~

Downside :
1) It is something that will take a bit of time and Hard Work to integrate into the Existing System ~
2) Folks will still have Questions concerning the item being auctioned and would have to send PM's to the seller (Others may need the same Question answered as well - So there would still need to be a way to reply within the auction) ~

Overall - I like the idea ~ :tu:

I forgot about that
Thank you all4cost for mentioning it. We must have that too.

Hopefully we get some more positive reviews.

We could make it that instead of an "item description" there's gonna be x[/x] field to fill out:

The domain name
Owner
Registration date
Expiration date
Develepod? (yes / no)
Google PR
OVT for the domain w/o extention
IDN? (yes / no)


and so on....

Good idea. And a pictures section for proof of income, traffic stats etc

 

[ammo]

i mae a suggestion like this in a thread i started as well, i suggested using the phpauction script, with a little work that could be intergreated into NP$ wouldnt be to hard

Maybe you could try it on a trial basis and see if it works from there on
