TheRX (unsanctioned) Sweet 16 Auction Thread

[HarryCaray]

OK just read the other comments.

Same deadline for bidding. New payment deadline is March 25th 8pm (3 hours after auction end).

If no pay, the team goes back up for a one-hour auction at 9pm Eastern on the 25th. I will start the thread in that event.

If there are multiple non-paid teams we will do them at the same time.

 

[HarryCaray]

Defying can you edit the first post ITT to reflect?

 

[MikeB]

Agreed, but not enough time as it's set up. If we moved up last bid and deadline a bit we could probably do an impromptu 1 hour auction on the team.

I think that's what we should do.

Why not?...if worse comes to worse and nobody else bids during that 1 hour, you end up where we were to begin with.

 

[HarryCaray]

Then delete the post above. And this post. Chop chop. Earn that cushy rx mod pay.

1 hour auction? WTF? HC, don't make a mess of the auction....just give the 2nd place guy a chance to buy it at winning bid....same with 3rd place guy....if after a few no's, just let anyone take it.

other ppl can't complain if the prize pool is the same.....ie. why would rooftop care if I took Kentucky instead of Defy....as long as someone got it for the same price that the auction ended on (no decrease in prize pool)

Action in that auction will begin with the previous highest bid before the non-payer.

In other words, the 2nd highest bid is binding, and will be the price and buyer if it is not bid up in the re-auction.

Just want all the rules to be very clear upfront.

Because the market dynamics are different now. If it weren't for this theoretical fraudulent non-payer, maybe the 2nd place guy (or someone else) coulda gotten it at a lower price than he is now forced to buy it at.

The bidding will re-start at the 2nd highest bidder and price.

I have spoken.

 

[HarryCaray]

It doesn't really matter anyway cause that has never happened and I don't expect it to start now.

Thanks for splitting it up by region Dog Daze. Appreciate it. Let's keep it that way.

Am I the only one for whom it won't unbold on the copy/paste? I had to go into notepad and back. Annoying.

I only can unbold if I edit the post, if I bid again I'll expect you to fix it.
At least I'll bid in whole dollars,wow.

bold was still there had to unbold same way you bold

When I copy the post and the paste it into the quick reply, the bolded text will not unbold. I highlight the text and the B icon (by the B, I, U) won't un-select. Control+B doesn't work either.

Strange vbulletin bug. I'll figure out a way around it, looks like others are able to do it somehow.

To me the bolding/unbolding is unnecessary and annoying as we can see who is making a post already
so its not like we really need extra attention to who they bid on.

 

[HarryCaray]

It's just ironic cause I've been the nazi in the past about the format of bids and the bolding. Heh

Personally I find it very helpful. If I'm in the minority I don't care, but I have to think most people like it.
