Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Auctions allowed?
Wanted to ask something real quick. I was thinking about putting one of my animals for sale as an auction. Is this allowed?
I will delete the current 'for sale' ad and make a new ad. The ad will start at the extreme lowest I am willing to take and whoever has the highest bid will get the snake. All bids will have to be placed ON THE AD so its visible to everyone.
Please let me know if I'm allowed to do this. Thanks.

Actually there is very little difference between making the statement "best offer" within the ad, and having the sale held as an auction. So no, I don't have any problems with it.

I dont know who told you that but maybe they just misunderstood. I am pretty sure that auctions have been discussed in a previous thread as well because there have been quite a few "sales" auctions that didnt benefit the site nor a particular party as well recently.

Wow, I started a good thread lol
Rich, thanks for your prompt response. I had noticed the 'Donation' autions a little while back but havent seen personal auctions go up so I was unsure if that was ok or not. I personally believe there should be rules though.
BIG Rule #1 being, you need to start the auction at a reasonable price.
We dont want all these auctions popping up every second because someone wanted to start their snake off at $0.01 you know what I mean?
Maybe there should be rules attached to personal auctions or a seperate room eventually? I believe many people would be interested in the idea and as I notice now I think more people have thought about the idea but never actually did it or asked about it.

Yaz, I agree with most of what you are stating however, I dont think a starting bid amount would be necessary. I do think that they should be run without a reserve though since there is no way to set a reserve price.
My concern with auctions is that, normally, auctions are generally an "as-is" sale with no warranty or guarantee implied. I think dealing with live animals, we should have a generalized TOS as to what we can expect as a buyer as well as being a seller.
Just my .02

Just remember that this will be between the seller and the buyer, and management here has no intention of getting involved. Auctions tend to be more of a headache than straight out sales tend to be (I ran FaunaAuctions a while back....... ), so you all have to understand that if problems crop up, you will have to deal with them yourself as best you can.
