Donor Dibs List - Bidding
The donor dibs list is intended to allow us to know what other Goblin builders are bidding on so we don't get into a bidding war with each other. We want to be bidding against the rebuilder's and salvager's and not against each other. When we find a vehicle we would like to bid you can first look at sales history to see similar donors. Then check to see if it is already in the dibs list and if not add it to the list. Parts for Goblins such as superchargers, engines, transmissions that are found on eBay or other bidding sites may also be added to the dibs list. This will help us in buying those too.
When we win or lose a bid it would be helpful if we update our listing to indicate what it sold for. You may update the status and add a sales price to a vehicle. I am working on this now but to do so copy the timestamp (1st column) on the dibs list to the clipboard. Then update selecting "identify vehicle to update by Dibs List Timestamp" and paste the timestamp into the form. Alternately you may use vehicle mileage to identify an item. You need not do both timestamp and mileage. You may then update the status. The intent (not yet working) is to modify the dibs list moving the vehicle to the sales history if the vehicle sold.
You may edit your listing after submission which will modify the row of the dibs list spreadsheet. When you add a vehicle to the list select "Edit your Response" on the confirmation page. Then bookmark the page that come up and close it. Later you may update your listing clicking on the saved link. Your updated response will be updated in the dibs list. This is a bit hokie, and Google documentation says that you can get an email for the submission that contains the update link but I could not find such an option. I will work to make this easier.
If you would like additional options added to the list let me know. If someone would try it out it would be nice. I only tried it with my own login (on Google) so sharing may not work for you. I will create a new list (won/lost) to keep the active list slimmed down. I set it up so each of us can have multiple listings and be able to edit a previous listing (ie. mark it won/lost and enter a sold price). I was not able to test how Google works in editing responses when there are multiple listings.
Sales History - dibs list items sold and their selling price
Current Dibs List - what is currently being bid on
Add Item To List - add a new item to the dibs list
Update Item Status - mark an item sold and record the sales price for reference
