Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

This is far too logical. If you are a regular on SF, you have way too much stuff and, in most cases, are always grappling with where to put it. It never ends.

Probably true for most except the NYC guys, we always keep selling...

Man, that's an institution that grew up with the forums. I remember my first trip I went there to show some tees for an independent designer. They were completely uninterested in that, but they liked my jacket.

Truly sucks. Wonder what did them in?

Poor product selection

Now perhaps this is just my opinion as a seller, but I also think the Y!J bidding system (with the automatic extension feature) is far superior to eBay's and would be the best option to reach prices that would satisfy both sellers and buyers. From my own observations things on Y!J that actually generate interest seem to move the fastest and for the most agreeable price. As mentioned previously, buyers almost overestimate the value of the brands and labels they're interested in so why not let them decide the price?

how does that system work, bid with reserve if doesn't hit reserve automatic extend? That's trading liquidity a bit no? I have no issue selling $100 less if I can move now vs. this infinite waiting for the lucky buyer thing...

AW18 must have accessory, your own head

Surely this is the creepiest sartorial image of the week?

It makes it so you can't snipe auctions. Last second bids extend the auction duration.

Very interesting idea, deterministically 1 sec? IE can I still snipe 1.1 sec prior (programmatically of course)

No. Any bid (that's higher than the current bid) whatsoever made within the last 5 minutes will extend the duration by another 5 minutes. It even extends regardless of the highest bidder max bid as well. Say for example the current bid for an item is 5000 yen and the person with highest bid is in for 30,000 yen. If someone else were to bid the next highest increment (7500 yen) it would still extend the auction and the system would also automatically use the max bid (30,00 yen) to bid the next highest increment (9000 yen). This goes on until the current bid stays without any higher bids for 5 minutes.

In that sense it has a max bid system just like Ebay, but also with the auto extension to better facilitate bidding wars. I hope that explains it a little better.
