i've got a tidy little sum of bioware points amassed. i hear the auctions start tuesday.

will any schedule be posted detailing which items will appear at which times?

i CANNOT check back every 15 minutes around the clock hoping to find when the N7 ballcaps are up. that's quite unfeasible - you basically make people who want a chance at winning babysit the site for 5 days. :\\

ideally, i'd be able to know ahead of time, take a break and log on for an auction.  i can sort of understand why you wouldn't want to release a schedule (everyone would save points for the big items) but you're discriminating against people who have lives here.

I'm with you Curly. I work night shift and sleep during the day. The idea of losing sleep for 5 days trying to win and N7 hoody isn't exciting. I was hoping for at least a general clue. Ex. Clothing on Tues, Art on Wed.

exactly, i just need an idea of when to be watching....i don't have access to a web-enabled computer during large chunks of my day. and even if i did, i could NOT be monitoring the auctions all day.

Likewise, spring break ends Tuesday and back to work. I am not able to watch the computer all day and get my job done. I see why a schedule wouldn't be released; at the same time, I don't want to compete with those with more tokens for whatever item happens to be up during my break-time. I know what I might realistically win and want a chance at that tier of stuff.

EDIT: Perhaps current Challenge 17 has something to do with scheduling. (Which auction item interests you most in the Bazaar?)

I feel like I have more of a chance at winning something if they don't announce it. If they do say when something is going to be auctioned, then the heavy hitters are all guaranteed to be there. But if they do it random style, then the computer could come up suddenly and an average joe might get it.

I'm sort of leaning towards this view myself, although I also like a previous poster's idea of announcing "Art", "Clothes" or "Electronics" for a certain day.  I'm one of those who has a desk job with internet access, so my only stress times are while I'm in a meeting.  If I couldn't check the internet constantly, I would want a schedule as well.  I suppose we'll find out tomorrow.  For now, the less people that know when a big ticket item is, the more chance I have of doing well in the bidding.  And if I end up missing it... well, I probably would have been outbid anyway.

I'm hoping for the "unannounced" as well. I've seen the point totals that many people say they've acquired, and I'm not even close. So unannounced would be my only chance at winning *anything*.

I'd love a schedule too. I can't check back every 15 minutes until Sat and I don't have a lot of points anyway.
