COMING
FALL 2002 SPRING/SUMMER 2003! SOON!!!! |
(Due to all the many updates to this site, cross-browser fixes and general updates
as well as trying to maintain a *real life*, the auction has been postponed for a
short while. Keep in mind, I do all of this on my own...code, admin, update, maintain,
answer emails, etc. so I do what I can. To put some perspective on this, the auction
will be composed of more pages than the entire site already uses....yes, lots of work
to finish up. But never fear, it will all be worth it in the end! Thanks for your
understanding and patience. - AMORONE)

| Here are a few of the features we are working on: |
 |
- Controlled Auctions - ONLY approved items may be auctioned. This includes decks, wheels, trucks, etc. BUT does NOT include 14k gold skatebaord pendants, skating smurfs, raver shirts, and all the other trash that clogs the "skateboard" searches on eBay! Any such auctions WILL be dropped immediately with no refund given.
- Know Your Collectors - Only verified members of AoS will be allowed to participate in the auctions. Verified? It means that your email address will be verified among other things and that you must physically update your member profile to acknoweldge that you have read our Auction rules and terms and accept them.
Along with this, since members can not change usernames, this should make "name changing" non-existent.
- Anti Snipe - One of my favorites...."Anti-Snipe"...how does it work? If a bid comes in within the last 10 minutes of a auction, the auction is automatically
extended 10 more minutes. For each bid after, the same process continues until no more bids are made.
This more closely resembles a TRUE auctions..."Going once? Going twice? Any more bidders?...SOLD!".
It should level the playing field for folks with slower connections as well as run off those annoying
last second snipers.
- Auction Options - Sellers will be able to set their
auctions as "Standard" or "Private". The "Private"
auction option will ONLY be open and viewable to members
who are INVITED by the seller!
- and much, much more! Have ideas? Send them in! Remember, this is OUR auction....the
community has the chance to make it as we want.
