... Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 The selling of real estate on the forums should be restricted to either two options: Set price An auction with a clear starting bid and end time The point of these two formats are to eliminate listings for sellers just fishing for people to overpay.

Gen. Henry Arnold Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 So if you do case 1, and someone offers a price higher than your set price, what happens? And with case 2, if the bid time ends, are you forced to sell to the highest bidder? What if people just want to see what people will offer for their house, where do they post? Don’t think this forum needs rules for this Parzah, Joshhh, Tea. and 1 other like this Link to comment

In case 2, sellers are forced to sell to the highest bidder when an auction ends. This is the inherent risk of an auction while also offering the benefit of the overpay. If people want to see what people will offer on a house, then list it for a set price and mention that you will also consider offers. Sheriff Rick likes this Link to comment
