Running out this old warhorse, but just saw a new way to conduct an auction

[gh1950]

Well, most of us know about the ODT auctions.

Here is a new spin:


Multiple items for cell, all are "Trade Only".

Trade interest are the ever popular, generic, "Other guns [or something similar]" That apparently meets ODT's standards.

But here is the new twist.

"All trade offers must include your best cash offer."

That's sort of putting it out in the open.

Frankly, when I came here I thought all the "For Sale" deals were being conducted as dutch auctions.

Seller lists at a high price, and keeps reducing it until someone makes an offer. Once it reaches what the seller considers the reserve price, if it hasn't sold, he just closes the auction.

Do I need to update my book on how to conduct ODT auctions?

Apparently so.

Pleas to require ads to have cash values continue to fall on deaf ears.

Or puts it back in the safe.

Newbie, around 20 items, several categories, all for "trade only".

Actually am interested in some, just don't have time to play that game.

I'm good with what I got.
