If this isn't for real, it is one of the most elaborate practical/April
Fool jokes I have ever seen. Note the anti sniping policy! Any bid keeps
the auction alive for 24 hours. ** I LIKE that **

always on the go.

Naturally I registered with handle "Lar".
Followups to market.auction, of course

| The Serious Collector Ain't No Joke. We're establishing a serious collector's community - a better, service-oriented alternative to online fleamarkets. After holding a big Lego auction in the fall of 97, I started thinking about how the auctions we (...) (26 years ago, 4-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
