I've been doing the math....the auction will conclude by the All-Star game! LOL Honestly I sort of agree. This could take a REALLY long time. I woild be in favor of a 12 hour until auction wins |

My quote from December 10th talking about the Auction.
"From experience this auction will seem at first like it will never end. It will seem like there is no way we will finish this thing before the season starts and then 6-7 weeks have passed and your roster is starting to fill out and you can't believe it happened."
As I said in this thread it will be a long process so please be patient. Some thought the minor league draft would never end and we finished 400 picks in under 40 days.
I will say this $0.10 minimum bid is not helping, but that is what the league wanted so that's what we get. I promise it will go faster just give it a chance.

As players are awarded and the budgets get smaller the auction will pick up speed.
The problem at the moment is everyone is after the same groups of players.

Also doesn't help to have (48) names up with a max. of (60).

I think the .10 minimum is the real culprit here.

This is my first auction and since I can't access the site from work, having everything still in motion for me is great, It's only Jan 16 we have over 70 something days so I think we will make it

We have plenty of time, there is no reason to rush through this.

I think once a few bids close players will start coming off the board very quick

In time a few people will simply place larger bids to chase off those little bidders.
You guys will start placing larger bids when you actually want that player instead of placing a dime simply to up the prior bid.

He bid 8 on Brian Dozier without seeing the second page of bids, so it was an invalid bid. He said to disregard the bid since the bid stood at 9.3.
