It was an interesting experience, similar to eBay in some respects, but different. Through the online system, I basically put down my highest price and let things go from there. My high price ($200) was reasonable given for what the same item in the same condition was going for on Ebay - and I wound up winning the auction, despite there being 10 or so other bidders that didn't reach my price
My only concern would be how it would be regulated here. I mean, would it just be a free-for-all starting at one price and going up from there in sort of a bidding war or could someone simply come in and plant a high price that no one eventually decides to exceed? Like sy PH listed a 1:18 P-51 for $50 and I put down $200. Would the buyer then be responsible for that high price they put down or would it go for the next lowest price, as like on ebay?
I am thinking like a real auction.
What you say is what you pay.
