<P>Be brief, but be enthusiastic and positive. Ooze excitement without
sounding grandstand.</P>
<P>Herald your auction and list its unique characteristics. Anything special,
for example a pack of 20 Forestmen or a Galaxy Explorer, should be listed on
the first screenful. Come out swinging, but don't be giddy or presumptuous.</P>
<P>Put the rules down at the bottom -- people won't read them until they've
decided that you have something worth buying. No sense making everyone wade
through the procedural rigamarole.</P>
<P>As near to the top as possible, list a summary of everything to bid on.
Don't go into detail here -- as in the teaser, you just want to give an
overview. Be hierarchical if you have more than 50 items for sale.</P>
<P>If you are conducting a multi-phase auction with many announcement postings,
try to give a sense for where you're going over the coming days or weeks as
you put up more and more items for sale. (Hopefully you have planned your
phases.)</P>
