hmmmm. i'm with elguap on this one.
an auction seems contrary to the spirit of the forum and the almost altruistic way in which most of the transactions on there seem to have taken place. I've not bought or sold much stuff to be fair but i have used it a bit and i like the informal no hard rules friendly approach too.
maybe the forum's too big for that now though? especially for more valuable items. all i can say for sure is that the auction format put me off getting involved in a thread advertising an item that would definitely have been all over if it was fixed price recently.
