Picky, picky, picky :)

Thanks Billy......How about I call it an Auction not a Raffle? How does that sound? I wouldn't want to set this up and have a semantic issue. lol. BOBSCARDZ Card Auction

It's not semantics, it's misrepresentation, and that actually matters.

So  AUCTION is a better representation of what I'm doing. Like Jd said picky, picky. lol.

To be real picky, it's a Blind Auction.  Trading is one thing but an auction is another.  I'd suggest BOBS contact Admin before running an auction on their site.

OK, very interesting info.

So, what if it's called a Blind T/S Auction or Blind T/S Contest.

I'm having a bit of a problem cutting thru the red tape on titleing this. I'm trying to trade [sell if need be] a preset lot of cards. Not really that much different than offering or countering a TRADE on here. An established # of offers allowed, and I select the one that is the best trade for me. The "buyer" will most certainly get the best of the deal everytime. All I'm trying to do is trade alot of cards for a few I need.

PLEASE, tell me why this would create a problem in trading on here. It's just a different twist.

I don't really want to do this, BUT I could deflect the AUCTION or CONTEST to my webpage. Some members might not want to wander out of the confines of the TCDB. lol., however.

BTW, I have received positive PMs on the subject. Few are ready to send their trade offers ???

Everybody, PLEASE understand that my cards are housed in 4 rooms, maybe a 5th if you include my office. After close to 5 years of reorganizing, I'm prepared to finally "cut the fat", I have sooo much now organized. The tradional trading sometimes takes too long to search out for me, but this way I have a prepared desirable trade that members could win easily with a "best offer", mind you not necessarily the highest offer, but the best for my P-collection. And best yet, I can ship within days....because normally I'm a SLOWWWW trader. lol. If I can move just 200 cards/week, I can "cut the fat" by over 10,000 cards, great for me, really great for you.

I believe, this should work. Is this format OK with everybody? I'm lining up "Lucky 7" stuff already.

UP FOR GRABS – LUCKY 7

By BOBSCARDZ

~Bob’s~ version of a Blind or Silent draw. Here’s how it works:

• A predetermined item[s] will be “Up For Grabs” in the Lucky 7. PLEASE read the description fully..
• Any member can make any offer. The 1st 7 offers will be reviewed by ~Bob~, and the 1 that best works for the PC, wins! Winners will be notified ASAP>
• Offers can be made by using the TM or PM me.
• Note: The Lucky 7 can be limited to less than 7 offers if there are less than seven offers. [~Bob’s~ decision]
• All winning offers will be mailed within 3 days.

[Offers that match the BOBSCARDZ wantlist, have the best chance of winning]

I’m looking to move cards to you! Let's trade!

THIS ITEM IS:

Special Notes:

Seems like you're still skirting the issue, Bob. I'd suggest you just sell since that seems to be what you're really trying to do.

Joshua, Not skirting the issue. Next time you are in Jersey, take a ride South and you will know what I'm up against. This hopefully will work. Plain out trading just takes too long to pull and ship. Small trades mostly work, but big multi card trades do not. And traders get aggravated, and I can't blame them.

I'm hoping by continually having @ 10 "Up for Grabs" in queque, I can then move some cards. It kinda worked with my "bulk trader" lots last year but that stalled out because of my massive inventory issue.
