A while ago I mentioned some new software that we would be installing for selling instead of using the forums. Well a test has been installed and we would like you to use it for all your new offers to sell.
There is only one ad in it, but it is fake. Please DO NOT add any more fake ads, just real ones. We need to see how this works in real situations.
If this test works well, we will switch to it for almost all our buy and sell needs and the forums that used to support that will disappear.
Please give as much feedback in this thread as you can and please do give critical feedback

Does that mean all items for sale will be bid upon?So it's really an auction?
That's what it looked like to me.
No,wait.Now I got it... |

No,wait.Now I got it... Just to be clear. Yes, you can OPTIONALLY make a sale an auction. But if auctions create a hostile atmosphere, I will be forced to disable that capability.
Also, we are not eBay, so the auction is not as full featured as some might like, but I doubt that we would consider any major enhancements to that feature.

Steve,
This feature looks really nice. Is there a "barter" option as mentioned in an earlier post?

Like the idea of the new feature for selling ... will probably work out great! 
One piece of feedback ... I don't like the items on the left side  because it causes the entire page to shift (and be extremely wide). Might work better on the right, possibly beneath the User info.  | |

Steve, this may be a result of the Fake Ads testing, but when I bid on the Ryobi tablesaw I was told that I was outbid. The bidding history only shows 5 bids and mine being the highest. Is there a way to secretly bid?
Also I noticed that the new Fake Ads by Jeff and Gotojeremy don't give you the option to bid on the item.
I want to see how much I will go for...everything's for sale at the right price 
Interesting, when I bid $6,000 on the tablesaw I was told that my bid was too low that is must be over $31 (my last bid), so I entered in $100, and was still outbid

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

I added another to see what would happen to the ad pictures on the left. My ad was No. 4 and apparently after 3 ads, a new row starts. As Jeremy mentioned, I was concerned about how much horizontal real estate was being taken up when viewing "New Posts", etc.

Everyone, please note that if the seller hasn't uploaded a picture with to sell item, it doesn't show up on the bar at left.

Steve,
I marked the monkey as being sold (Woodguy thought it was a bandsaw monkey, and I didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise) ...
However, it's still listed on the homepage -- should it be? May make sense to have the sold items fall off the homepage.
My two cents .. | |

Is this to be limited to woodworking items? If not, I have a car and Panther PSL's I will add to this and get you a couple real ads!
