I agree with nder, we should be encouraging people to use it more, instead of letting it go the way of the Articles Forum.

Thanks,

I think the fact that those who knows what they're doing in terms of selling, has already got it down in the sales forum.. and those who wants to do auctions, stick with ebay for good reason, and that being, the auction board here is beyond obsolete.

Whats the point, when you can just set prices in the sales forum then?

The problem with your reasoning is that it only applies to people with a ton of Ebay feedback that can get the top prices for their cards. For the rest of us, if the auction board here was active at all, it would be a much better deal because even if you do make a bit less on the cards (which is questionable, since we'd only be getting the low-end Ebay values anyway if we chose that route instead of the MOTL auction boards, and one would assume there would be an active market at that price for beginning bids given that things in T/A and Sales go for higher), you're still making more money by not having to fork over a chunk of your profits to Ebay.

It's not as visible as the T/A & Sales forum - how about marking it as another forum in the list? Currently it's only available through the Site Navigation drop-down list on top.

Also, the software is outdated, and not supported anymore (see http://www.everysoft.com/auction). It could use a better user interface as well.

k.. disregard the minor reference to ebay I had..

what advantages does auction board have over sales forum?

Sales, you set your price, and sell
Auction, you set a starting price, which if it was your sell price, and you got it, that's it.. I doubt it'd be any higher, since everyone here selling seems to always want the max they can pinch outta their cards anyways.
Sales, you can edit and update your list every so often, and keep the thread alive for months.
Auction, seems to be limited to 2 wks, and you post what? individual cards, playsets, or lots? cant do the massive listings that a big sale with hundreds of items as currently in the sales forum. just seems like it's an unnecessary hassle.
