Live auctions on bonanza?

Years ago, some Bonanza sellers conducted live auctions. It was so fun. They would advertise to Bonanza users when the auctions would take place. People would gather to that auction booth and bid on particular items. It was so fun!!! I was wondering if anyone here, in this Bonanza era, does auctions anymore.

Hi there,

Here is a link to an old community help page that goes into detail about Auction Trains. https://www.bonanza.com/community_help/Auction_Train_on_Bonanza_.

You’ll also see that ccmom left a link to the actual Auction Express Train page that has all of the information. ([URL removed]

Hope this helps!

I have not seen it, but perhaps it still happens.

How does someone actually do an auction with fixed price listings?

You are willing to take OBO (perhaps with a reserve price) on the item you offer up for auction.

several people are in the booth and the seller selects some items and those present can bid on them..it is live and usually lasts about 15-20 minutes

Yes, or if anyone was interested in an item, the person on the train could put up the item and have the owner of the booth do an auction on it. We had some fun times on those trains Lol.

search fun and games….essentially auction trains..here is one of the threads…from last January that I found..you can try to contact some of the sellers that participated and ask about it

I remember the auctions and I was in them! It was the “train” where we would meet at one booth then just go to all the booths that were on the train. They were fun, but they sort of fizzled out unfortunately.
