ok after actually reading it in that very lovely description i understand it better and agree, although i'm not too fond of outbidding auctions with my name.
>i personally think that we should have both auctions
>going on at once. it wont be confusing because
>NEITHER groups will know the other exists. people
>bidding on ebay won't know about the auction we're
>having at the event, and people bidding at our event
>won't know about the one on ebay. it's pretty simple
>if you don't Let it get confusing. i mean, writing it
>all out makes it sound more confusing, right?

>so here's what we'd do:
>we'd put up the ebay auctions a few days before the
>event. (they would be scheduled to end on the same
>day as the event or a couple days later.)
>during the event, we want everyone to bid throughout
>the night, which means, if it's 11:00 PM and there are
>still five people left, and they want to bid, we
>ENCOURAGE them to do so, so we can get the max out of
>everyone. we tell them that we will be calling the
>winners within the next couple days to let them know
>they won. we don't mention that we're doing this on
>ebay.
>if the event "winners" have been outbid by the ebay
>bidders, then we just don't call them.
>if the ebay "winners" have been outbid by the event
>bidders, then we just personally outbid the ebay
>"winners". it's not like we haven't done that before.
