Indeed! And the entire point of me making this thread was to leave a system as fair as we have now, but with a set cut off point as well. :lol:

I believe that's why I'm coming around to really likeing the "buy it now" idea. (But only if the BIN price is known) as it shouldn't distort things too much in terms of market values and equlibrium but give the option to remove the endless bidding. (rather than PMing the other manager which is laborious, takes time for a reply and has language barriers) Thinking about it a known BIN price would also actually encourage bidding faster! (Thoguh it would also reduce the number of speculative bidders but it at odds with the angle-dutch system, but no matter)

Yeah I guess you're allowed, the Dutch have these kinds of snake threads as well. Actually, that 400 pages topic was a three-word-story. (every person can add three words to the story)

That must've been one hell of a long story. :D
