GM, all:
I remember at a recent Ham Fest I brought my spare Honda Generator to
sell.............Instead of just selling it in the normal way, I brought a
EASEL & MARKER and made a SILENT AUCTION out of it to keep the interest
high.
It sold for $40 higher than I was going to be happy with if I sold it the
normal way. Pretty good HUH......!

I remember once seeing an item for sale at a hamfest. It was a
fairly new transceiver, IIRC. Anyway, the seller posted a price for
it which was fairly high, but then also posted that every 10 minutes
(or some interval like that) he would lower the price. And he did.
I guess it was an inverse auction... start high, and work downwards.
Anyway, after not too long.. maybe an hour, once of the interested
"lookers" caved in and bought the rig. I recall chatting with the
seller later in the day, and he said that he would have kept reducing
the price until the hamfest was over if he hadn't sold it. I guess
we'll never really know! :)
