Please see the suggestion to improve AF as a fair place.
true as you mention it is not the main core function, maybe to reduce AF Mod time, efforts and AF memory space/ bandwidth is to stop buy/sell. it would allow resources to better concentrate on AF's core competencies such as its sharing forum to provide best value.
if AF continues Auctions, I propose a small rule change that does not require any extra computer coding or extra cost. just allow 5minute extension if any bid comes in the last 5minutes because when we notice some low price auctions, last few minutes sees many bids after being quiet for hours or days.
I have been involved in 1 auction and let the higher bidder take the fish although I was the "last" highest bidder to benefit the seller. recently, i was the highest bidder but missed by seconds to respond to 2nd rival bidder. I congratulate the legal winner but the seller miss out on higher market price of their fish.
the rule change will benefit the seller to get better price without AF adding any cost, no extra computer code, only 5minute extension rule change.
I pray you see this in a positive light of improving AF.
