Editing the description is not a function because the coder did not want people to post something to sell, then change it in the middle of the auction, I thought that made sense. The next release of the modification will include the ability for admin on the site to do it I believe.
I thought I saw your auction under one of the categories Jerome, is it in Artwork?

Yes it is in artwork, but I can't "click" on it to see my own auction, let alone change it.
E-bay allows changes as long as there are no bids, and even then with notification. The only preclusion is the last 24 hours of the auction.
That's very true Jerome and you are right, this thing does lack certain functionalities. The creator of the modification is doing upgrades all the time so its bound to get better.
In the end, its a free modificationI do know there is a different one that is paid (vbplaza, I think) but I wanted to make sure it was something we might use before going that far. This one seems to at least create a platform for the idea.
I can delete that auction that you have set up easily so feel free to create as many as you like to play with it, when we have something "real" out there, we'll make sure its announced on the site.

What a very cool idea...and the payment method is what paypal?
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Matt, please delete it.
I will post another. It actually was/is an "real" auction. I will accept bids and sell the item.
Thanks alinda--I thought it might be something we could use. The payment method is determined by the seller but its really just a way to keep track of bids. The payment and exchange is all worked out by the parties.Originally Posted by alinda
Wow! That sounds good. I will delete the last one but remember, they cannot be deleted after the save so play around with a lot in the preview. The image upload is not great imo but you can use the [img] button like a post.
[xfloat] doesn't work either as far as I can tell.
If it gets screwed up, I can just delete again and I don't mind running this one real auction but it will be the only one until we can develop some site rules and guidelines around the thing.

I am currently unable to find the page to see whats up for bid & or enter information.There is a page available I assume? Would you please be so kind to point me in the right direction?

Sure alinda--here is a link http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/vbay.php
its totally still being developed so there isn't much to see out there. Only Jerome is able to sell because we are still testing it.

I think I put it up correctly this time. Remember, your 10 million dollar bid will be binding!
Oh dear, well considering I dont even know what if anything I bid on
I may have really stepped in it . Its a good thing I am independently wealthy

How lucky he is... he is the only one who can sell and buy it means he can get everything that he wants.
Roland would have understood.
I'm selling to myself!

Jerome has an actual auction going out there with an entry under the "artwork" category. Have a look if you are interested.
Any registered user on the site can bid but make sure you don't bid on that auction unless you would like to actually pay for the thing.
I am going to put a link on the tool bar for it when we get the bugs worked out but for now you can see the main auction page by going here...

I just checked it out, Matt. Cool.
My only suggestion is that since members need to put their shipping address just to view the auction site, there should be a statement on the same page about how that information will or will not be used - preferably just above where you enter the info.

Cogent point.
Great idea Patrick.
Do you guys think a link to our Privacy Policy would suffice?
Also--isn't there text above that part that says that the information will only be shared with the seller? I'll have to check that out.

I don't know about the text, but the link works with me
This sounds like a great idea. I've got a couple extra TPBS to sell, I'd be glad to be a guinea pig and give it a try. LOL
Hey Spencer, nice to see you.
I will put you in the group of sellers and we'll see what you have.
For an example of how to do the auction ad, I would look at Randall Flaggs under "artwork"
