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.

Auction Feedback Forum I figure I need a place to discuss whether this auction section is working or not. |

If the Auction Section of the site goes down, would auctions be allowed within the regular Classifieds Section? Only reason I ask is that I like to use the auction section, but won't really have much to offer till at the end of the month, at the earliest.

I don't see any reason why they would not be allowed - part of the problem before was that registered members weren't able to post responses in the classifieds. Sellers would post the "current high bid" and many people were less than trusting of the process.
The problem with auctions in the main classifieds is that people tend to want to play auctioneer; and all those posts intended to keep the auction visible & encourage bids are nothing but posted bumps (which are, of course, specifically disallowed)

I suspect that with the lack of interest in this section, it going away is pretty much a done deal. But if anyone wants to surprise me, be my guest.
As for auctions being allowed in the classifieds section, well it depends. If it seems that the auctions are pissing off everyone else just trying to post classifieds and PAYING for the membership perk of bumping their ads, then this site will just have to live without auctions completely.
This section was intended to try to sidestep the messiness that auctions would likely generate in a combined setting with straight classified ads. And the fact that they just weren't possible to run with the modifications done to the classified sections to try to curtail the rampant bumping going on at the time. Heck, to be honest, I really don't know how much of those mods mentioned are still in effect right now. If I would have to pay my programmer to REMOVE the code to allow auctions to take place there, then that is just not going to happen.
THIS section was implemented in order to show me whether or not auctions would fly on this site at all. Currently, that answer appears to be a resounding "NO". The membership is telling me that auctions aren't wanted, much less needed on this site.
As an aside, I also have a personal interest in seeing if auctions would work here since one of these days I'm sure I am going to want to liquidate my herp library. Since I have no idea of what all those books are worth, an auction environment seemed the most practical way to address this. Guess I'll have to use some other sort of avenue when that time comes.
