Having auctions on Twistypuzzles.com would be great, like if you wanted the puzzle you are selling to go to a forum member. People said they wanted a section on ebay for twisty puzzle mods, well what about a auctions on this site?

Don't we kinda do that already?

Lots of things sell here in the Marketplace without the use of eBay.

I dont think anydoby can built an auction site like eBay. Does eBay have any patent like rights with auctioning sites???

That would be quite impossible. The idea of auctions isn't new so they only thing they could possibly patent is their code. But given you can't even get hold of that you're perfectly fine to make your own. Given that you come up with your own name and layout. If you called your site eBuy you might get into trouble but otherwise you will be fine.

Cool then, why not do it in twistypuzzle??? Eve for a small amount, itwill never be like ebay fees...

It's already on the longer-than-is-strictly-healthy-for-me To Do list. It'll probably be three or four months until I get around to seriously looking at it since there are some other rather big site developments underway already.

Please keep the ideas coming!
