If if makes people feel better, I am sure Nismo could ask the forum Admin to verify what he's said. Surely he can read PM's if needbe?

Im happy for Admin to verify everything

Is this a good moment to point out the perils of forum selling?

Hahahah that Karma picture made me giggle sorry barry but his use of images has been classic lately

How about for future reference, post in the thread, outbid or whatever, so people know the PM has outbid them.

Obviously this wouldnt help with last minute snipes but may help some

NISMO!!!!

Think the only way this is going to work in future is in thread bidding only, as I stated previously this is the method I normally use, thought I was helping out those who wanted their bid to remain anonymous, clearly not.

I'm not usually this dubious about things but that screenshot only makes it worse... It looks like its actually been photoshopped, all the areas e.g. user details, word e-commerce.co.uk, the actual txt in the body is pixelated, yet areas of non interest are fine.

You have to understand where I am coming from..

Does vBull have a time critical auction like the one at the top ?

I think IF you accept PM bids, maybe worth a 5 min extension with each new pm bid, and then you post the sum here ?

I personally don't like these rolling auctions, but I'd accept it for a PM bidding auction ?

That's high compression!

IIn this instance, the hyphenated doesn't look visually odd and might actually stand out better than the unhyphenated. Thoughts?

Hi Invincible,

I completely agree. Although I'd want to have both options to cover all bases, I'd certainly, in this case, favour the hyphenated version to use in any advertising or pr to publicise the site. It's the E thing - I'm not at all a fan of hyphens but it's the way we're most used to writing, typing, and recognising this word.

Great sale - congrats to both Slater and Nismo!

Think the only way this is going to work in future is in thread bidding only, as I stated previously this is the method I normally use, thought I was helping out those who wanted their bid to remain anonymous, clearly not.

Perhaps a SEDO-like 10 or 15 minute extension could have been a good idea on such a high-value forum sale?? It's understandable that some may want to bid privately on such a name-although, whois kind of defeats this in most scenarios. With the time extension, you could then employ Skinner's suggestion of just writing OUTBID, perhaps also including price - and keep both the posters and PM-ers happy ...well, as happy as possible!

Best wishes, Richard

It might need more investigation...

Where is BB99?

The "pixelation" around the text might simply be anti-aliasing; especially due to the fact that the screengrab isn't to scale, rather is actually blown up.

Totally understand what your saying about the anti-aliasing, just at a first glance and considering how the auction went it made me second guess...

Anyway, its been fun, now back to tropic thunder
