This in actuality is AN AUCTION. The only difference between this an eBay
is that you are only allowed one bid and the seller has to keep track of
everything. Do we want to turn this into an auction list?

Subject: [OM] selling to the list and trouble w/ Olympus America
As a digest reader, I feel I am at a disadvantage to For Sale offers on the
list. Everything seems to be sold by the time I get around to reading about
it. I thought about offering a higher price, but I didn't know if that was
fair. I thought it might be a good idea to offer a minimum price on the
item
and let people offer a highest price they willing to pay only once (no
bidding wars). The seller would then take the price offered which exceeds
the second highest bid buy a dollar. The seller would then notify the
person
offering the highest bid along with the e-mail address of the second highest
bid to confirm that the selling price is based on the second highest bid. I
realize this is a psuedo auction, but it gives everybody an equal chance at
the item and might keep Mr. Early Bird, Tom Scales, from getting everything!
That's my $.02, but I'm many will disagree.
