Season Tix in Auction

[E.T.]

Don't let me steal this awesome deal !

Auction ends 2morrow.

[Matt]

shhhh....

ET, why did you out bid me when you are trying to sell 2 sets of tickets yourself?

[E.T.]

Just trying to help a BULL out.

These tix are worth a lot more ... and could probably sell the WVU tix easily for what you would pay for the package.

[Matt]

Et, just to let you know...that package doesnt include the WV game.

[Economics_Nerd82]

$80?! Is that total or per game or per seat? I might have to jump on this.

[E.T.]

Sorry, meant the L'ville game ... our final Home Game.

This is a great deal.

Nerd,

It's total for ALL the tix !

All, for future use of the auction:

Keep in mind this is not eBay.  This is a community auction platform.  So it is best to bid early and ensure a chance to win.  Whether they are my tickets or anyone else's I implore you to bid early and often.  Make it a win-win for the buyer and seller.  If anyone tries to win with a late low bid, it sort of defeats the purpose of pleasing both parties in our community.  When items are on the auction, it's not ebay junk.  Bid with some pride on the tickets and let your fellow Bull get a decent part of his money back while the bidder gets seats from a relatively trusted and/or known  source.  There will not be as much competition for tickets on AuctionaBULLs as you might find on ebay - so bidders need to jump in early and bid it out.  On the other hand, I sold tickets on eBay last year to a game and got skunked.  A buyer bid, but never paid and I got stuck with them.  We can make this a safe method to redistribute tickets if it is actively used and sellers find it worth while.  I still have tickets to place for auction for upcoming games as I am sure E.T. does.  If you need them, bid early please and make it a competitive process so that all win.

man....

i wish i would of known this "rule" before hand....

you shouldnt put an "end" time on there then.  i was getting ready to make my bid today since it was supposed to end at 10pm tonight.

  So what ended up happening to the tix? Did E.T. get them at $80? or are they going back on the block? It looks like there was a lot of people willing to bid it out today for them. I think the best way to solve the problem is to start the initial price a few dollars less than the fair price rather than at a rock bottom price, and to have the auction ending times during peak board hours. If you have an auction ending really late then it will be unlikely that a bidding war will occur.
