All Auctions Schedule

[LyricaBlues Resident]

Having read all the comments, I see that most of us feel as I do - there will always be competition, which is healthy for any market as it encourages quality. I also agree that in such a vast and varied group of people, there will be rude ones just as in RL. But that doesn't okay or necessary to be successful. The cream will always rise to the top...and the ones who are overtly rude or inconsiderate, or who do such things as go to auctions to IM panel renters offering free panels at theirs, will reveal their character quickly and be lost in the crowd. My Rule of thumb: If its not Ok to do in RL, dont do it here. Treat others with the same consideration you expect RL or SL. I for one have some breeders whose cats are my biggest temptations LOL..but if i didnt get a good Genuine feel from them, I wouldn't buy their best cats for 10L.

Its my opinion that we should try to accomdate the influx of new people. Nevermind who is doing what and where, just do our best to "build the better mousetrap" as the saying goes "and the world will beat a path to your door". At the end of the day, smart shoppers will go with the schedule that fits their needs, where the lineup has cats they are looking for and where they can enjoy drama-free congenial company (LOL or at least minimum Drama). Its also my opinion that there are too many auctions and I agree that there is a limit of how many hours one can spend at auctions! I can tell you right now that No Way am I able to sit through 2 or 3 hrs in one auction. So I make it a point to start and end within the hour because in an already overburdened schedule, to keep patrons there much longer is unfair to both the buyers/sellers and to other sims with activities and it limits what can check out on SL. Its like forcing the public to "choose a side" when all they want is to get nice cats and have some fun. Its just not necessary or considerate to take up 2 or 3 auction slots for 1 auction. People have a RL too and other SL places they want to go to. Suddenly kittycats has become more of a Job than hobby for enjoyment. A little common sense tells me that this would benefit both buyers and sellers and help improve the overall SL experience for everyone if we tried to consider all views. Again, in the end, the skill and quality of the auctions will determine where buyers go. I for one am grateful there is more than one supermarket where I live, and more than one movie theatre. It should be the same here.
