CURRENT BID = 403 caisos from Oliver Queen

Do not Reply let people reply to this comment. You can edit/update this with the current bid amount and who is the highest bidder.

Feel free to also include a link to the current highest bid, so if someone wants to jump in and out-bid that person, they have a direct link. This is important, because if you don't reply to whoever has the highest bid - they won't know they've just been outbid.

Bidding Card - Whoever is Bidding can put their Bid Amount in the Subject to Help

[iamdamnloyal]

With this format, you can put up a bidding card for silent bids. This way people can drop a bid off on the piece of paper and then continue wandering around and meeting people. This allows for one character to wander around and talk to all the ladies and other bidders -- without having to worry that they might miss out on a bid somewhere in all of the chatting.

This is the format that was used in the last Bachelorette Auction - but I wasn't sure if people thought it was tedious to have to comment in two places with their bids. (ie: in the chat with people thread & the actual bidding card)


HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS FORMAT FROM THE LAST AUCTION.

BOOTH

[iamdamnloyal]

This is where the Girl up for Auction can talk to people wandering by. You are welcome to state how the booth is decorated. If you want to get together with whoever signed your girl up for the auction, you can have it that THEY decorated the booth up for you. It's your booth. Do whatever you want with it! The ballroom will have a theme... which will be revealed on the day of the auction post itself.

People can talk to each other, talk to the girl, make comments, ignore/stalk/harass -- whatever you want to do, do it here!

BOOTH & BIDDING

[iamdamnloyal]

Unlike the prior format, this encourages the bidding and the chatting to all take place in the same area. The only problem with this format is that once comments start to collapse, people might not want to expand all the comments to find out if someone is bidding/has bid.

This format can work well, if you are able to update your current bid thread with a link to whoever has the highest bid. It also encourages people to talk to each other while they are bidding.

By providing a link in the current bid thread, even if someone has bid after that person and you haven't updated the link/current bid - they can see where the current thread of bidding is taking place. This will make it easier to keep all of the actual bidding in one spot.


THIS IS SORT OF... AN EXAMPLE OF THIS FORMAT - When the first auction happened, I wasn't sure the best way to have people comment. We would put the auction info up and then let everything crazy happen. So, instead of the auction details being the first part, instead you can just provide the booth description and then let everything go crazy.
