I don't think there is one mate!...
There is an RH cuff title in the classified today " for auction"???
Ah gotcha, if you click on the item it opens a new page where you can enter an amount and then submit your bid!...
Slightly damaged Rienhard Heydrich Cuff Title -- for auction - Militaria Collectibles buy - sell at War Relics
How amusing. Buying anything from ebay is almost wholeheartedly condemned by this forum yet here we are going down the same path, bidding on an item until the highest bidder at the end wins. Double standards and a route of selling that will probably end up causing more upset amongst the membership than it's worth. Afterall, there is a reason why 'highest bidder wins' auctions are not held on other well thought of forums like WAF, GCA, GMIC etc.
I believe standards are being allowed to slip, but then again, needs as must when the Devil drives I suppose.....

Actually I did not even know this was an option within the software.....Had I have known, I would have removed it, if possible.
Cheers, Ade.

I don't really see the problem... Is discontent due to people losing out in auctions or prices going higher than they would have with a fixed price what worries you? I don't see the problem with ebay either. I've always used that site to acquire collectibles and, except for the ever increasing fees, and I've hardly ever had a bad experience.
I think E Bay is disliked simply for all the crap that is now peddled there.
I just like to keep everything in life simple. Fixed price and what you see is what you get.

I guess I've simply gotten used to it after all the years I've been actively buying (for the most part) on there. There's treasure amongst the trash for sure but I get what you mean by wanting to keep it simple...
Nothing worries me. But you have partially answered your own question, discord always eventually appears when these 'highest bidder wins' auctions are implemented, that is why they are not used on other serious collector forums, it causes s*** that isn't needed.by slados28
Put up a fair price, first come first served, no arguments.
