Can do *all* freepay sites minus fip. DIT.

I have been on study abroad in Europe for the last 3 semesters. I did freeipods before I left, but now I've moved. Now that gratis is free pay, and they have 100 sites, I would like to get back in the swing of things.

I'm auctioning off the using me as a referral. I've created a website to help me keep track of it. Basically it's like a real auction. If someone bids, the timer is reset to 4 days. When the timer runs out, you've won.

PM/Reply with any Questions.

I don't think this is allowed...

I think the rule that you are referring to is
"Do not post a link that, if clicked, could financially, referral-ly, or otherwise help you."

However I don't see how this is any different than any of the numerous 'bid on my referral' posts that are in this forum.

Will do freepay's ps3 site and xbox360 site for highest bid[=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=30058]Will do freepay's ps3 site and xbox360 site for highest bid
Can do ANY site[=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=29670&highlight=bid]Can do ANY site

etc.

I think this saves me a flood of PMs and trying to sort everything. "Ok. Who has the highest bid. Who sent me their bid first."

If it's a problem with me showing the winning bid or any money. I can remove that easily.

Mods. I am new here. If it violates the TOS, let me know and I will revert to the old "PM me with your best offer"

Is premiumipods the only site you're doing? I'm paying $30 for 360xbox.freepay.com.

As long as you plan to follow the normal TR rules, I don't see any problem with the way you keep track of bidders.

Bump.
Posted Monday. Today is Friday.

3 days has expired. Bid on what ever you need! )

sorry if this is considered threadcrapping, but you said that you completed freepays ipods site before you left, but since you moved you are now auctioning off yourself as a referal to that site again? Isnt this against the rules and considered scamming freepay (Same person doing same site multiple times)? Sorry if I misread something...

You missed this edit I made before my bump

[quote58339b834b="darkscout"]liEdit I talked to one of my friends. I'll be giving him $20 to complete ipods. (Sssh... Don't tell him it's at $30 right now)[/quote58339b834b]

any chance of getting some train sites on there?

I didn't want to overwhelm myself with 100 sites at once. I'm going to do the freepays. Then depending on how everything goes add some train sites one by one. If you look at the source HTML code there was a "suggest site" button at the top of the auction page, where I was going to let people suggest a site.

Maybe in the future. That's some PHP I whipped up in a few hours. Once I get it more refined and documented, I'll be releasing the source code.

I'm also in the progress of making a PHP/website based tracking system for greens. Green Reporter is nice, it just seems to suck CPU, where I could run a green reporter on my host and set it as my home page. Any interest?

I'm not trading but just wanted to comment that your website/bidding tracking system is pretty innovative

We allow items to be auctioned on multiple sites? Seems kinda lame to me, but oh well.

4 days seems kinda long time to wait when it keeps resetting after each bid. 5 bids in $1 increments could mean your doing it next month.


Sheeze.....

Yeah, I think a 7 day strict auction would be much better, but to each his own. I wouldn't want to wait so long for the chance of a green.

oops wrong thread, lol

Seriously, I love the format. I mean it sux for all you bidders, but it is awsome for him. He gets the most money this way. Keep reseting the timer is a smart idea on his part.

I like the bidding system...but there are a few problems that could cause conflict in the future

A) I'm not sure we've a rule in place against auctioning the same referrals here and elsewhere...but I'll be sure to talk it over with the other admins/mods as I don't feel it is very fair to our users.

B) Why is there an option to "Remain Anonymous"? And, whats to stop people (or you) from just bidding up the prices?

In short...while innovative...there are several problems with your script. Perhaps if you were to contact Admin and see if he is interested in integrating it into the trade module (thus requiring users to be logged in to bid, etc.) it might work more nicely.

Yeah it would be very interesting to have integrated into the trade module. I just don't think we should support cross-site auctioning.

I like the script and all but think its way too open for fraud. Whats to keep you from adding a $1 every day anonymously?

Please pull my bid.

Well The "minimum bump" is 3 days. Every time I bump, there is a new rash of bids. This however, was before I found that I get more people bidding when I put it in my signature. I'm dropping it to 2 days.

A) The only difference was, you guys have a 3 day bump time and 'they' have a 6 hour bump time. So far, my 2 winners have been from 'their' site.

B) I thought people would not like to be quoted as 'winning'. However I guess all the other auctions are showing the highest bidder. With some people thinking that I'm inflating the bid, I removed the anonymous feature.

If the admin wants it, everything is very function oriented. I'd be glad to give him the source.
