Re: [Killietalk] Virtual Events, Proxy bidding in late March

Odd we got virtually the same idea 2 minutes apart (mine was 1st naturally)
with just a modicum of thought (and we both are pretty stupid depending on
who you ask)...;-0
Imagine what a person of even greater intelligence (like from Oregon or
Washington) like could think of!!! <LOL>

Guys;
     How about the Stock Market Day traders..  The stock market runs 
at hyper speeds, yet people regularly trade in real time looking for 
1/16th of a point increase in market price. And if that ain't leading 
edge I don't know what is...  Maybe the webcam thing is a little out 
there but live real time auction bidding could be done through a 
convention web site. Just post the auction fish list 4 or 5 items in 
advance so some pre-bidding could take place and then let it 
roll..   To ensure you don't get scammed charge an up-front auction 
entry price, say $20.  that would go to the sponsoring club to pay 
for the extra effort that they would have to put in or give it 
to  the AKA in the case of the convention.. Work 2 or 3 laptops to 
handle the incoming bids, you could even post them on a good size 
monitor so everyone could see the on-line action.. iI would think 
that this could enhance the AKA coffers quite nicely with not a whole 
lot of work..  Think about it, don't dismiss it out of hand !
