New BYC Auction System - Want To Buy A Chicken (Just A Test)

Will the sellers be charged a fee, to use this auction service?

We want to keep this as free and as open as possible, but also making sure we're covering our bases on support and development. We will have limits on the number of postings that members and GFMs can make in a 30 day period. If members want to post more times they need to upgrade to a GFM. Details will follow the release of the new system.

Yes, all BST listings will be required to use this new system once it is released. The only items that don't have to be via this system are "For Trade" and "Wanted To Buy"

Am I the only one who is sad about this?

I think the auction system will be great--don't get me wrong--and I'm sure Rob probably has a good reason, but...an auction just isn't going to work for me most of the time if I'm selling birds. Eggs, cool. But birds...sometimes I have a pair or trio that would be fine to sell via auction, but more often than not I have several chicks or birds that aren't being sold as one lot (as in, I have some chickens and people come pick the ones they want from the lot). So I wouldn't be able to post them here in that case, and that's a bummer.

Anyway, I'm super excited about the auction system, I'm just a little sad to see B/S/T go away.​

Don't worry, it will all work out. BST is just getting better, not going away.

Details will be coming, but one thing I left out is that not all of these will be auctions. The system allows you to do:

Auction
Buy It Now
Best Offer

(again, details on all these will be provided when the system is released)
