Does this idea work?

Hi everyone,
I am thinking to add one more option for our user to list items for 30 days. seller usually list their items at high price in free auction site because they donot want to sell at a low price. Therefore, list the item for longer period maybe can drive the start price down.
List until sold is a good function to build up item databse fro free auction site, however it will create lots of bad items(something not available to sale and run over and over again, even years). what do you think about? can anyone give me some suggestion?

I did that on epier, some items have been there for over a year. In fact through an email change, I lost my epeir email. Someone won something and couldn't even reach me anymore. Thats one of the dangers of a freebie site with unlimted posting times, or auto-renew.

This isn't on topic with your question, but did you ever think of organizing a yard sale in your neighborhood and the things that didn't sell allow people to put them on bidmonkey? You could make it a big event with a press release and so on. Just a thought.

You could even go to flea markets, when they're closing up, and hand-out flyers about how great bidmonkey is and talk with your "potentials".

Just some thoughts, sorry if they are too off topic.
