Hi guys.
I voted the first solution (even if I think I'' never sell my own collection Very Happy ).
I like auctions (instead of fixed price), because they give me the emotions that come from competition. And I do not like the formula "Fixed price: the first who reads the first can choose".
My proposal:
I'm quite able in php, and few years ago I made a website for the management of the auction of our FantaFootball, on a similar ebay style.
With Debs-style selling we have the problem of updating bids; if you agree and if you decide for the auction way, I can create a "light" application for managing bids (and logins/summaries) for the members of forum.
I think I need 15-20 days for making up the application and test it.
We just need to exactly plan and know all rules.
The heavyest work will be on images, for Gob (we are talking about 600 chips). But we can help him in cutting, resizing and renaming.

Very nice idea. Welcome to the new CPU-World Auction System™ Cool
Moreover, without any charge. F*** eBay Very Happy
