GO TIGERS
working on 1000th

[KGoldin]

ONLY an hour left. I shortened the time frame from 4 1/2 hours last time to 3....because everyone was waiting till bigger levels to get hit to bid....
but that meant they were never reached.
happening again.
If you are waiting there is only an hour left...

Hey Ken, just a thought for the next auction... if your goal is to maximize early bids, why not have a random draw from the first X bids, if X is reached.

For example, instead of having a prize for 100/200/500/1000/1500/etc, you could do:

If 500 bids reached, one member of first 500 will be drawn to get a $150 discount.

If 1000 bids reached, three members of first 1000 will be drawn to get $200 discount.

If 1500 bids reached, three members of first 1000 will be drawn to get $250 discount.

If 2000 bids reached, five members of the first 2000 will be drawn to get $500 discount.

Of course, you needn't consider this idea or even the specific numbers cited, but it might offset the weird thing with people holding out for higher tiers, since the earliest bidders would be eligible for the most prizes.

Good idea, was thinking of something to do
