That's not quite in the spirit of it.
The idea is ;- you are prepared to donate (give free / not interested in making money / setting market prices) an item, any item and you take a percentage just for postage. You might even take a hit, a bit like giving money up.
The start price would be ridiculously low, (like all good auctions) to get the bite on the hook. It's more about your generosity to GIVE an item and not SELL it as previously stated. The only other cost involved is time but if people are not that interested in giving a bit of time / charity then I can only guess, sorry, know what will happen.
You're probably correct. If the members can't be rsd to click on a banner why would they bother reading a thread? .......unless there was something it for them. I might put my de-cat Ackers up for offer as one is dented from a minor tip over.
Plus if I win on the forum I could always resell it on ebay where the 1000's are watching. everyone wins.
