Auctions

We've been piling up lots of free to use stuff in the space. Some of it is useful to have in the space, some of it is trash, but there's some stuff in between, which we have either too much of, it's too specific, it's been in the free2use pile for too long or we just don't have the space for it. One idea that came up was to do charity auctions and give that stuff away for a small donation.

Auction software

We could just put it on ebay, but that's a bit of a hassle. Instead, we wanted our own little ebay-like platform, so we could put stuff up there with just a picture and a single line of text. There isn't too much software like that out there, so we started evaluating what little is there.

Rules

• Things that have been bought shouldn't be out in the "public" realm of the space anymore. They should go either in a personal box, or be taken home.
• Pickup & payment at the space.
• (anything else?)
