Not sure if I would like that as a buyer... But it would be more like a true auction. Mike "Goin once, goin twice, snipe, Goin once, goin twice, snipe" Wilkinson Castle Rock, CO

Jeez, when will everyone understand that it's not a "real" auction and never will be. It's an internet auction. They're different. I go to a "real" auction every Saturday. They're not the same! And never will be. Live with it.
