I think a just a couple of auctions a year would be great... Not actually being at the London Bash this year, but taking part in the auction via the magic of the internet was still a lot of funThat being said it would probably be best if it were part of a bash, eg the London Bash and one of the Christmas Bashes.
From a bidder's perspective, I'd be quite happy to see it work through eBay or through gazzing, but from the organizing side of things I can imagine that side of the even would be manic and time-consuming... Would it be possible to split the task over 5 trusted (!) b3tans? Bids for artworks 1-5 gaz to User1, 6-10 to user2 etc etc?

I'm thinking that the comparative calm of the last minute weekend auction was some kind of miraclejudging by the difference in feedback here it could be more difficult and abusive than I'm willing to deal with.
Coordinating b3tans to deal with it sounds like an even bigger headache.
This is meant to be a bit of fun, not a team building exercise :D

eBay sounds more and more like a good idea... Artwork sent out on payment through ebay...there wasn't any "unpleasantness" during the last auction, was there?
