Although this isn't an auction site, neither is BGG and they allow auctions there. I'm happy to permit BGG-style auctions here because it limits exposure to members of these forums, who I think we'll all agree are the best people in the world.

Neither Carcassonne Central nor anyone on the administrative team is responsible or liable for any transactions that members choose to engage in with each other. Please take appropriate precautions when buying on-line, and use a third-party payment service such as Paypal which includes purchase protection.

Like your thinking.

How do we know when the bidding is over?

At CarcF we have also a forums section marketplace.
The member who starts a threat in marketplace has at least to post "now it is finished".

Then the moderators are closing the whole thread.

I have nothing against auctions either but I just immediately saw problems with it here since two members posted interests for an item that already had gotten a 75 US dollar bid.
It just seemed difficult to hold an auction when it was apparent that the thread didn't follow an accurate auction procedure.

Hi,

Sorry i have not been online much. I have sold all but the kornkreise 1 and the cathars. Current offer is 75$ on those each. But i am still having doubts whether to sell them or not.

Another reason against holding auctions here,
since the auctioneer can just change his mind and not sell.

What you had for sale changed so much I respectfuly withdraw all interest in your items

Another reason not to hold auctions here, the first bidder wasn't even told about what happened with the sale.

Ah well. Things go as they go.

Though it may seem like this was an auction going thread, I had no purpose treating is as such. I merely wrote my interest and asked for shipping and got no response whatsoever. It is curteous to at least send a reply when someone is posting a comment on your thread.

That aside, my thrill to seek out the old expansions has faded away. It's awful that one cannot get the old expansions at fair prices these days and certainly there is no one to blame.

More likely, I will break my rule of only one copy of each expansion and just buy tiles by the thousands and build a world just for a few pictures to post.
