OK, FINALLY we are going to do this differently.

The website is going to be ready for tomorrow. This thing is sweet, keeps track of all bid history, total pot, payouts, etc. Shows which bids are yours, how much you owe, how much time is left in the auction, and which bids are new. Optimized for mobile, tablet, or PC.

Really think you guys are going to like the website. Just keep in mind this is its first test run, so consider it in Beta mode. Not promising there won't be some weird bug discovered or something. Also, suggestions always welcome.

The site has a simple login page where you put your RX username and a password. This is just to ensure bid authentication.

So before you can get to the website, I will provide you with a temp password. Then you can change your password when you login to match your RX password or whatever you want (in the future I'd like to look into integrating with vbulletin for authentication).

So if you want to bid in this auction, or you think you MIGHT want to bid in this auction, or you just want to watch, or see the website...post "IN" in this thread and I will PM you a link and a password tomorrow. This will not obligate you to bid in any way, and I won't ask for any information from you whatsoever.

The auction will start tomorrow mid-morning (whenever people start logging in and bidding).

Auction will close Friday April 17th at 9pm eastern. I know it's a pain ending it in the middle of a Friday night, but given the mobile-friendly nature of the site, people should be able to bid while out with the wifey. :)

Is it proxy bidding like on ebay, where you put in a high amount and computer bids for you
up to that point
or
does last man to put in high bid at the "stroke of midnight" get it.

As of right now it is last man standing, similar to how we've done it here. Proxy bid orders are definitely on the development list though.

Working on a mobile app that lets the user configure his own notifications he wants pushed to him (bid on a certain team comes in, auction closes in X minutes, a bid gets taken away from you, etc). For now the website should size right on whatever device you access it from.

Keep the suggestions coming too guys, especially after you see the site.

Once everyone has had a chance to take a look I'll share the development list here with you guys, so you know what's already in the pipeline.

Would just like to note the "stroke of midnight" for these auctions, when done this way, will be WAY less confusing than it is now. Not knowing EXACTLY how much time is left, and not being sure what the current bid is at cause they're coming in too fast. All of these problems are now solved.

Everyone who asked in has been PM'ed a link and password. I will continue to take new requests for user setup in this thread.

The NBA auction in there is LIVE. I loaded the results from yesterday's NHL auction in there too just to test the "view closed".

I will start another thread for bugs/issues/suggestions for improvement a little later tonight.

GL everyone!
