OK figured it out, on VB 3.6.4 you can't leave the starting price at $0.

Images would be a good add on, would love to see this feature, would happily donate $ for dev

[Blackhat]

maybe a way for the "seller" to upload a few pictures of their items. Those can be deleted when the ad runs out or gets deleted by and admin or the seller

[KHALIK]

Before I install this hack;

Does this hack have payal incoporated? so when bidder "wins" money can be transferred via paypal.

[DieselMinded]

No it Doesnt

[Blackhat]

I cant edit an allready posted auction. I click "my vbay" but its nothing there and how can I attack pictures (external)

[Blaine0002]

you are not currently allowed to edit your auction,

You may currently add images using bbcode.

[DieselMinded]

Blane Can you add the Edit Auction To the Admin CP That would be sweet man and add it to the confirm before submitted new auctions

    Welcome 
    to Bomb Bay, an Area On Diesel Bombers that lets you buy and sell items in auction 
    format. <br>
    <br>
    Bombardiers may place items up for auction and may bid on other user's 
    items. Regular Members Are Allowed To Place Bids and Win Auctions But Are not Allowed To Sell Items for Security Reasons , To register, you must provide your name, an address, and your email 
    address. You must be 18 years or older. <br>
    <br>
    When selling an item, you may enter a description of the item, and indicate the minimum bid and a reserve price for the item. 
    You also indicate what payments you will accept and whether you or the buyer 
    will pay shipping. We Ask that you start a Thread in the Bomb Bay Forum on the board and use this as the Informational Medium For your Auction Here You Can upload a 
    photograph and Discuss your Item <br>
    <br>
    Sellers are notified by email when an auction is concluded. If a winner 
    exists, the winner and seller are provided each other's contact information.
