As breeder I can say its all about the balance, find common tongue and work together on times and dates rather than fight against each other and compete. It will be a much more productive result for ALL auctioneers if the buyers and breeders aint forced to chose between 2 or hopefully not even more. This is why if auctioneers do not want to settle things there's always sim owners who can work out a communication line and help them find common tongue to both see benefit of it. Going over each others time and dates is not helping your reputation or anothers.
We are here for community first
and that's all that should matter, at least I hope it does. sharing experience, enjoying the auctions and offering and buying the project results of others, not fighting over times and prices. It would be good that there's auction "unspoken rule" of honoring already taken times and prices because when one goes lower than average then it will keep getting lower, and when one overlaps, it just floods and spreads like a virus.
