I've seen some of Tim's rocket's up close and in person and have seen them fly at Thunder Struck, and Tim does put quite an effort in building them and they are something to see. Tim, you can count me in on the action, as I am in the middle of several builds now, it's always great to pick up some quality pre-built ones. Looks like a road trip to Indiana for me.
Everyone find the rocket you want and pre-bid $1,000,000!
That works.

You should make this interesting...
1. User Submits pre-bid.
2. You send troj your pricing sheet right now in order to assure people of security and fairness
3. When pre-bidding is over, you announce who won each rocket and what the bid was.
4. Price to be paid by winning bidder iis the greater of the Pricing Sheet Value or the following:
((Pre-bid Value - Pricing Sheet Value) / 2) + Pricing Sheet Value
This essentially prevents people from doing what I suggested above and will also allow you to recoup some of the value expressed by the pre-bidders. It also adds complexity to this process, which seems in line with previous posts.
For example:
I want the Competitor 3 that you have. I bid $125 in the Pre-Bid. Your Pricing Sheet Value is $50. The price to close the deal is $87.50. Pre-bidder has the right to accept or walk away from that price.
Wait so are you going to use the equation that Dan suggest you use for figuring out the final price?
Interesting but no, I'm not looking to set up an eBay bidding war. And honestly, although I think the process you suggest is better, on previous sales, when I tried to take it out of the realm of "fastest PM" and reward a TRF member that really wanted a rocket, I received tons of grief, so fastest email and PM it is.
On #2 above, I am happy to send Troj my pricing sheet (assuming Troj is not purchasing) as a neutral third party check-and-balance.
I find it odd that there needs to be a discussion on a "neutral third party" to monitor the "fairness" of this. They are Tim's rockets and he should be able to decide who gets them and for what price. Or am I missing something here?

The only reason I added that bit was based on my fantasy bid vs. Tim's price differential. Otherwise, I agree with you entirely.
I'm way more than OK here. I just need to figure out how to do a few offers for tomorrow considering I will be in a really pointless meeting.
Got my choices and amounts picked. Sadly there are a few I would love to get, however shipping might remove the shine of the value.
