Max has a new toy, check it out.

Hi all. Thinking all weekend about the auction and with my lack of a real life I was fooling around with some stuff. I developed a prototype of what I had envisioned. You may all go and play with it if you want, but it will not be real until I announce it official, so don't expect your items or whatnot to be really for sale. Feel free to play and fool around all you want. You can see it at:

Let me know what you think. Also, Bert's coming over tonight, we might be in the chat between 6 and 8pm EST or so. Later.

Hi, Max, that sounds like fun but it won't let me click on it. Could you try it again? I usually don't have any problems with blue clicky thingies.

Thanks,

Looks great, Max. Would suggest always having either a picture or detailed description of the item, too, ala eBay. Sorry for my ignorance, but before I bid on it, I'd really like to know what Rick's old "Lowden" is!**Big Grin**

And, here I figured it must be the place a bear sleeps when it gets really hot out; the Highden would be for those cold times of hibernation, right?

It appears that something has gone wrong on Jah (the computer I developed this on) and I can't tell from home here. Can't seem to do anything about it till I get in, in the morning. Sorry all, but it is just a prototype. working on it.... Try again tomorrow, I need feedback.

First link results in "Connection refused"

Third link results in "Connection refused"

So I can't tell you whether I like it or not, Max.
Apart from that one usually likes things you can't get... ;-)

liking the look...and already wondering how the logistics would work if one wants to donate just a portion to Mudcat..."It's Just My Silly Way of Tithing.."

From: Mudjack

Great Max,
It looks like it should work OK, I hate to bring up a subject of "RULES" or protocol. We might need some ground rules and/or spell out the logistics of how the transactions will take place. Such as when does someone send the money and when does the seller send the auction item. Our little attempt was purely on the "honor system" and is OK when we all stay on the up and up. When Rick's guitar goes on the block and sells for $12,000 plus, who sends what first etc.
The server tool looks great and thank you.... I think we've got it, let's just make it go.

From: Max

This would not work with any other web site, but we are going to use the honor system. We will just have to hope you send our cut.


13 Jul 99 - 08:07 PM (#94901)
Subject: RE: Max has a new toy, check it out.
From: SeanM

Actually, ebay runs more or less on the honor system. The repercussions for welching on an auction in any form are basically being banned from the site, as well as whatever form of recourse the offended party wishes to pursue.

We're all family, here. Don't see why that wouldn't work for us as well.

Today I got in using the http://jah.righteousness.org/threads.cfm URL today!!!

I have one suggestion: can you display the time somewhere on the auction list? For us not living in the EST time zone (wherever that may be) it is not easy to know how long it will be till Midnight EST...

From: katlaughing

eBay has a place where buyers & sellers can comment on one another & then they get ratings of a certain number of stars, which gives one a quick idea of how trustworthy they are. I don't think we need that right now, but if it gets big, you may need to think on that Max.

Thanks, Mudjack, for letting the lowden out of the bag. Sorry....I shoud've known that's what it was.
