I mentioned in another thread that I would run some ideas past the community with relation to adding BIN prices to a running auction.
Lets keep this conversation focused on the future and let the other thread focus on the past.
I also like to focus this thread on making sure that all interested parties are made aware of BIN prices at the same time (or as close as possible).
One possibilities is that when adding a BIN to a domain which is already loaded I can add an email alert to go to anyone who has already placed a bid on the domain name, this will ensure all involved parties will have an equal opportunity to read the email and become aware of the change simultaneously.
This change would apply to all auctions so I'd also be adding the option for a seller to add a BIN price after a lot is loaded and it would trigger the same alert. Does anyone envisage themselves wanting to do this as a seller?
I'd only allow a BIN to be added once for a domain and I would also not allow it to be changed.
Do you think we need to limit the hours in which this change is allowed? How do you imagine it will impact users in Perth or even in Brisbane when running on different business hours?
Would SMS alerts be more suitable in an instance like this? Would SMS alerts for when one is outbid also be of interest?
