I think this is a great idea.

Thoughts on making it a silent auction?

Key's has done two in the past, one silent and one not. I think the non-silent worked better personally - people can see what's going on, they can see how their bid is going to alter the price and they always know how much there getting. I can see the upsides of a silent auction though too. Interesting idea.

Basically I think people auctioning off their action should be the way forward, it's a perfect market solution - nobody gets ripped off, market forces will determine what price everyone sells at. And nobody misses out, everyone can always get a slice of the action if they want.

This is a point I hadn't even considered.

Very annoying to see a good value stake be sold out in 15 minutes because I have been offline, when I might have paid 10% higher markup.

I've just had a great idea for a new business.

I've got a few meetings set up soon. Just need to sort out the site name and a few other details and I'm there.
