General forum question.

[Cjg1213]

Have been on the forum for a little while and have never seen this but I figured I would ask.
Is there any way (or is it even allowed) to do an auction on here?

I stated making at home and believe this would be the best way to sell (multiple reasons I can get into)

I really don’t want to deal with eBay (again multiple reasons) but should I have to is promoting eBay listings even allowed here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I don't know about auctions but promoting eBay is not allowed.

If you want to do an auction, the site you mentioned is probably your best choice.

2. No auction or raffle type sale threads.

I would also agree promoting your bay sales are a no no here.

That’s what I figured. It’s too bad, love the community and I think auction is the best way to align incentives.

Align incentives -or- maximize your sales price?

Ain't that the truth?

Auctions and raffles are dumb, just another way to feed people's inner gambler (besides the obvious profit to the seller). It would not be a welcome addition to the forum.
