BUT, this is a community, and people (by which I mean auctioneers) have over the years found ways to cooperate and try not to step on other people's toes to provide auction coverage in all time zones. And we also all know that many auctions are under-attended and it would be great to move More people into having fun in SL by going to auctions as a fun event, much as in RL people go to auctions for fun. More people attending would take some stress off the events.
I would love to see more people attend the auctions... I think I learned more about breeding and perving cats at auctions than I did on my own.
I don't think people realize how often auctions are happening or where, though - even though most post them in the forums and advertise them in a variety of groups. My other thought is that the newer breeders might not realize that auctions are open to everyone and are a good place to meet other breeders, find some amazing cats, and learn a bit more about breeding. Oh, and are, generally, a lot of fun!
Who owns auction times?
