I've just completed our new live auction room system at: http://www.numisbid.com.au/Auction/ and I'd like to give it a test run before our April auction.
So at 7pm, April 1st we'll be running another test auction. Same rules as the last test auction, whatever you win you get free, limited to one coin per bidder. The catalogue will go up on the 31st, there will be about 10 - 15 coins, most from the $10-30 range.
If everything goes well, we'll be introducing this new (and hopefully faster) live auction system into our April auction.
I tried to register but nothing happened......
What do you mean nothing happened? You didn't receive the confirmation e-mail? The page loaded blank?
No returning email, nothing.......
I had a play today, I bid on the 64 threepence - yay freebie

Goldseeker have you had any luck registering yet?
The idea is to bid during the live session at 7pm Monday night at:
http://www.numisbid.com.au/Auction/
as I am trying to test out the new live auction functionality and how it performs under load.
oh I get it, haha I have never seen a live online auction before, this will be neat, so if you sit on that live action page does the picture change as the lots come up for sale?
and don't forget that time may be different for other states so its 7pm edst
brain strain what is the chat box for? who sees it
Quotefunctionality and how it performs under load.
if there was a Canberra florin up there I would certainly Load that sucker up :diablo: :laugh2:
Yes thanks for reminding me, 7pm Australian EST. Anything you type in the chat box is visible to other bidders in the room. Each lot comes up in succession awaiting bids, it goes once, twice, then sold like an actual live auction.
trout: I wish I thought of this a month ago, I had 6 spare Canberras in the last auction. At the moment I only have a proof Canberra spare, I'm ummm....not sure if I can find the time to list it up in the test auction. ;)

Hmm, spirited heckling and side-bets.? LOL.
Just letting everyone know too that the auction will start in about 10 minutes.

I was under the impression that it ended in 10 mins ?
It goes to a live auction where people can bid on each lot as they come up. A bit of a thrill.

Well walter, That went well.
We gave your site an absolute battering and it held together without a drama great:yahoo:
The Chat setup is fantastic and in a real auction some major sledging will occur and make the whole thing more like a real live auction:good:
Great concept Mate :yahoo:
I have just received my coin which I won during the "Test Auction" last week. Karma has kicked in as today is the Treasurers Birthday and her birth year happens to be the same as the coin.! "I love it when a plan comes together.!
Many thanks to Walter for my (OUR) very first slab.!!:wavemulticolor:
Thanks for the feedback guys, I hope that won't be your last slab Rob! ;)
yay I love coin :heart:
