Good news!
The auctions are live!

Everything should be self explanatory.
If you have any questions or comments about the system, please post here or send me a PM.
I will be fine tuning it over the course of the next few days, adding the listings to the homepage (like how the recent photos work), and other tasks like linking to it from the various places where you would expect to see the link.
I will also be migrating the existing feedback system into the auction system, the target date for this is early March, so I need your patience while I get that sorted out.
For now, it's up, it's live, and it's working very well.
You may currently add up to 8 images to your listings!
First you'll submit the listing, then you get to add more photos at the very last step.
What's funny is that I was just adding a listing, and before I even got to add my additional photos, our member Jason had already placed a bid on my auction!
One really cool thing about the classifieds that I want to point out to you guys is that as new auctions and sales are created, each gets a dedicated pseudo-thread created in the existing
Bananas for Sale or Swap & Wanted forum that we're mostly already familiar with, as well as appearing under the "recent posts" search ("other plants" for sale get created in the "Other Plants" forum)
Clicking to view that "thread" takes you right to the auction details page!
Posting an auction or a classified sale currently requires 30 credits.
1 BananaBuck = 1 Credit
You can cash in your BananaBucks for credits here:

All existing feedback records will be migrated within about a week.
Enjoy the system and use it well!
