Buy it now?


I've been asked a couple of times now about a "buy it now" price for one of my auctions. I hadn't seen much if at all of that here on A'gon, so had not set a "buy it now" price as that seemed a breach of A'gon ettiquette.

In general, what do you buyers think about "buy it now?" Does it interest you or offend you? Just curious.

Ebay seems to do well with the "Buy-it-now" option. I don't see why Audiogon can't implement it. It really depends on how quickly the seller wants to move it. I've seen Audiogon reserves in auctions set at, say, $500.00( which could be their buy-it-now price) and the auction ended selling for twice that amount. Then again, I've also seen many auctions ending at not meeting the reserve price. So you never know.
