Rules for Deal Or No Deal Auctions

[Thee]

How do you generate a complaint for a back door deal? The rule says there is minimal tolerance for violations of this rule, that repeat offenders are held to task, but is this monitored by the moderators or is a complaint needed?

No way to prove it happens all the time, members are held to a self policed code of ethics - Good Luck With That ! If there’s one Buck involved with some people !

 

[Thee]

The deal would not be binding, as the rules already cover: "A potential buyer is only bound to their offer for 24 hours. If a seller accepts the offer after that period, completing the purchase is the discretion of the buyer."

Hardly helps the problem that initiated this rule , a seller not responding Dond & another bidder comes in slightly higher (days later) & bingo! Original bidder is out of luck ?

DOND Rules:

HOW IT WORKS

This is an auction. (Bicycle related stuff only please.) Post your item or collection of items (bike stuff only please) to be sold as a lot. Include plenty of good pics and a comprehensive description, along with what you'll charge for shipping and how you'd like to receive payment.​

​

Interested buyers will make an offer via reply to the thread. Ex: "I'd give you $250", to which you as the seller will reply "DEAL" or "NO DEAL."​

​

No more bids should be placed after a deal has been made. A deal is a deal!​

​

If you've made a deal, please mark the item as SOLD.​

BID INCREMENTS

Bids must be an increase of at least 10% over the previous bid, or as specified by seller. This will keep the flow going without nonsese such as $1 increments. If the bid is over $1,000, from then on, $100 increments are okay.​

CROSS POSTING

Items made available on theCABE's Deal Or No Deal classified forum cannot be made available anywhere else. This includes any fixed pricing, or other auction style sites. This is to eliminate any possible confusion from arising.​

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS

A potential buyer is only bound to their offer for 24 hours. If a seller accepts the offer after that period, completing the purchase is the discretion of the buyer.​

​

Sellers are required to respond to the most recent bid within 24 hours.​

BACKDOOR DEALS

Directly contacting a seller/buyer to purchase/sell an item posted here is not allowed. This includes messaging to see what offer they will take, We have very little patience for this, repeat offenders will lose access to Deal Or No Deal.​

POST REQUIREMENTS

You must include clear photos of the item from multiple angles. Include shipping and payment requirements as well, e.g. PayPal, Check, Money Order, etc. Any pertinent information regarding the item should be included as well. Do not delete your post after the sale is completed. It should remain intact for future reference. We have very little patience for this, repeat offenders will lose access to Deal Or No Deal.​

POSTING LIMIT

You may post FIVE items per day. This limit will help to encourage the listing of good quality, desirable items. You'll also be able to more easily manage and give the needed attention to all of your listing.​

BUMPING

There is no bumping of the post with DOND. Replies by interested buyers or yourself will not bump the listing. Old listings get pushed further down the list until they are either sold or withdrawn, at which time they'll be archived.​

​

WITHDRAWING

If you aren't able to reach a satisfying bid within a reasonable amount of time, or if you simply change your mind about selling it, you may withdraw your item as long as you haven't already replied with DEAL. Please mark it WITHDRAWN. Withdrawing an item to accept a back-door deal via email etc. is not permitted.​

It's not rocket surgery, just be better about being shady if that is how you roll.

Yeah yeah I know the rules , just like laws ! useless without enforcement

Thee. Your case is open and closed. They are in violation of that rule and should be held to task. You’re the aggrieved, so you need to make a report if you think it’s important. I like that, “rocket surgery.”

It’s not my case , it’s the people’s case hahaha , and I’ll never report anyone over this trivia , I’ll leave that for the day specific thread dudes ! I’ll be aggrieved when my dog dies

Do you think would ever make a switch to a 5% bump rather than a 10%? There's already been a couple times where there's been items at $400 and then they go to $450 and I'm thinking that's getting too close to 500 on the next jump but I would probably do another 20 bucks. That extra 20 would go directly to the buyer and if someone out bids me, the buyer now made an extra $40. Now picture that at $4500, I might go 4600 or 4700, but I'm expected to push it to almost 5 grand. Just a thought. Either way, it's still awesome.
