Bid on my elephant!

[LightPhoenix]

Just a note - I deleted all the fake auctions. The marketplace is now live, and the Marketplace forum has been closed for new threads (you can still post in currently existing threads there: you just can't start a new thread).

Do I still get the elephant?

Would you mind moving the marketplace box under the Reply button? It's annoying to have to scroll past the marketplace box every time.

Thanks, -- N

I must agree with the penguin.

Thirded.

Can I fifthed Nifft's request if I also thirded it? In particular I'd appreciate if it was under the Quick Reply box, but I'll take what I can get.

Should perhaps a list of allowed/disallowed items be listed for things that can be sold/traded on EN Marketplace? For example, I saw somebody selling gold from MMORPGs. Most MMORPGs forbid these types of transactions. I think it might not be a bad idea to make up similar rules for our marketplace, and perhaps institute a way to report items that we think are inappropriate (which may be there already, I haven't looked that closely).

A couple things I can think of that we might want to forbid selling are:

• Digital items and digital currency, like World of Warcraft weapons, PDFs (that's what EN Publishing is for), website or game accounts
• Live animals
• Anything that's illegal in the state/country of the seller

Ebay's list of prohibited/restricted items can be found here. I'm sure this can be used as inspiration, but I don't know if we want to go into this much detail unless it becomes a problem.

That's how it's supposed to work. Ginnel bid more than you did originally, so when you bid it upped his bid to beat yours. I'm guessing the bid price was acutally one "increment" (probably $0.05) higher than yours. That's how eBay works, at least.

Well I really wanted that elephant

Do I still get the elephant?

Only if you call him Stampy
