PositiveHAL Posted September 22, 2012 DUTCH AUCTION - NO RESERVE Greetings, so up for sale is a large potted spinless scopulicola, arms measuring 50cm, 70cm and 15cm i had a monster Lophophora grafted to the base for over 10 years until recently. To be picked up from Melbournes northern suburbs, NO POSTAGE sorry. DUTCH AUCTION... so how do these work? I set a high price, then gradually lower it by increments of my choosing (sometimes $1 sometimes $5) until someone purchases. There is no bidding required by you, and there is no bottom price/reserve. Geddit? DO NOT POST A BID or ANY PRICE DISCUSSION! Ready, set, GO! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nemisty Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Now we do these auctions at work for old stock we want gone. Except we choose a certain value ( that we dont tell the customers ) that if it drops to then we INCREASE the price back up again. That usually makes the ones interested jump.
