    Default Buying / Selling Question

    Need your thoughts please. These are in general, not pertaining to any particular item or person. I'm just wondering about a few things.

    If there was an item you wanted would you rather buy in at the

    1. Frugal Village Auction - where you will bid against your fellow villagers.

    2. On Frugal Village but in the Peddler's Courtyard where the price is listed - first come, first serve.

    3. Or would you rather not buy from a Frugal Village member because if you ended up not liking the item it could cause hard feelings on the site.

    4. Or would you just plain rather buy it at a store where there is a chance you could get it cheaper and could easily return it if you didn't like it.

    Okay which option suits you best. You don't have to explain if you don't want to; just give me your choice.

    I thought that was going to be the answer. Thanks for your input. I had this feeling that as a village we would just not bid against each other on the auction part very well.

    Those 2 are my top picks.
