.:: Keypicking :: Anything And Everything For Locksmiths, Hobbyist Lock Pickers, Locksport, Lock Picking, lockpicks, cutaways and Security. Simply The Best Lockpicking Forum Around!

Auctions have previously not been allowed on the forum, aside from an exception made for someone last year. However since elbowmacaroni, jruther and I took over the site we've had several requests from members here to be able to do auctions on the BST board since eBay won't allow auctions on lockpicks and related items. We've discussed it and we're in the process of rewriting the site rules to allow auctions here, but this is basically the gist of it:

*The auction should have a clearly defined starting bid price, and ending time and date (including time zone, to avoid misunderstandings).

*Shipping costs need to be specified.

*10% of the final selling price must be donated by the seller to keypicking.com to help cover the costs of site hosting.

*The auction should be posted here only (it's confusing for bidders to keep track of bids placed across multiple websites).

*Once any bids have been placed, the seller makes a binding agreement to sell the item to the high bidder for the agreed upon price (i.e. no selling it on the side, or backing out if it sells cheaper than the seller hoped).

If this works for you, go ahead and make a followup post in this thread with your auction details.
