Interesting concept and perhaps you are right. The only thing I can think of though, is that if a seller does a keyword search for a particular item and then does a sort by lowest priced first, he or she may never get to this person's auctions due to the listed price. So potentially this could backfire. Report this Post to the Staff

He is probably ok since he is in a store format. The listing fees should be very minimal. If he was doing this in a regular auction format, he would be paying somewhere around $5 per listing just to put it up there instead of 50 cents or less. Report this Post to the Staff

dcarver9183 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 02/23/2008 08:34 am smart idea "if" it generates traffic which it already has...now the coins for that matter don't even match the date being sold---? Report this Post to the Staff
gbchaosmaster Valued Member United States 328 Posts	Posted 02/24/2008 7:06 pm What if somebody doesn't look at the rest of the auction and just reports it? Strange method of getting customers though... Report this Post to the Staff
