Auction for a 1g gold mini bar on bidding pond

[grondilu]

I've decided to give this site a try.

It's a two weeks auction.

5 days to go and highest bid is 105 BTC.

I'm sure you can do better than that guys

One day left.

I expect to be sniped near the end and don't have that many bitcoins to play with, but if I actually win it then bitcoins are worth a lot more than the price at MTGox would suggest.

That would be correct. From what I have seen on items selling on the site BTC are worth a lot more than what people are paying for them.

By the way BiddingPond, I kind of got used to pick a block number as a deadline for auctions.

It might be cool if sellers could chose this as an option.

Last I checked it was free unless you wanted something special, highlighted, bold, featured, etc.

I confirm.  If it wasn't free I'd use the marketplace bitcoin forum.

http://www.biddingpond.com/fees.php

Current fees are:
BiddingPond.com's idea of a good auction site is one with low fees. We believe in a flat rate fee structure unlike other auction sites who will charge you a percentange of your sales. We will always try to maintain our policy of items being free to list with the "extra' feautures being a nominal charge to support the site and keep it online. Our fee table is below:

Home Page Featured Fee: 2.00 BTC   
Bold Item Fee: 1.00 BTC   
Highlighted Item Fee: 1.00 BTC   
Reserve Price Fee: 2.00 BTC   
Relist Fee: 1.00 BTC   
Buy Now Fee: 2.00 BTC


I readjust fees after a stabilized general increase of BTC/USD monthly. Fees will probably be lowered at the end of this month.

Where do fees come from on auctions that do not close?  I had not realized there was a fee for buyitnow when I posted my auction and it looks likely that it will not close.

Every new account comes with a 5BTC listing credit due to situations that arise like this.
