EBAY-style bidding for free agents?

How would people feel about EBAY-style bidding for free agents in either of two formats:

actual live bidding process over the course of a day or two for any free agent, or

same process as today, but the winning bid only goes 5 points higher than the next highest bid.

Don't know if I would be pro or con -- I just thought of this off the top of my head. The first one sounds more interesting, but probably tough to pull off logistically with the site.
