The auction is going very well, many thanks to all the current bidders.
But as good as things are going, we would like to attract more bidders to
take up some of the open lots that are still available. We have an
admirable selection of popular parts that either have no bids, or are
currently going for much less than what we've seen in other recent,
well-known parts auctions. And when you consider that we will be able to
get you your winnings sent out in 2-3 weeks after payment is received,
Elements 2000 is a great opportunity to pick up some parts for your
summer Lego projects!
If you haven't checked us out yet, please visit our site and join the fun!

With the hope of promoting bids from both existing bidders and newcomers,
we have decided to implement a couple of promotional measures we think you
will like.
1) All bidders[1] as of Midnight EST tonight (May 11th) will be awarded a
one time discount (credit) of $2 to be applied to the total owed when
the auction ends. You MUST have a minimum of $10.00 worth of winnings
to be eligible. This $10.00 minimum is in place to help discourage
fly-by bidders who are after "free" parts.
2) Additionally, all bidders as of Midnight EST this Sunday (May 16th)
will be awarded a 5% discount on their total winnings. There is no
minimum requirement to receive this discount. Current bidders (you)
will first receive a $2 credit, then 5% off the remaining balance,
assuming the $10 minimum is met before the $2 credit. This makes it
possible to get $10 worth of parts for only $7.60!
3) Any bidder whose total winnings exceed $100 will receive a 10%
discount in place of the 5% mentioned in item 2 above.
Please note that because of the nature of these discounts, we will not be
able to reflect them in the updates that are sent out via email. We will
carefully keep track of these ourselves and make sure that any/all
discounts are applied correctly when the auction ends. If you have
questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
To receive a copy of the parts list via email, please send a message to
e2k@hcgl.eng.ohio-state.edu
with the subject of "sendlists" (one word, no quotes).
Please submit bids in text format, not HTML format. The software is
unable to interpret the tags which will result in rejected bids.
[1] A bidder is defined as someone who is in the bidder database. They do
not necessarily have to have placed any bids yet (but obviously they
need to place bids in order to qualify for the discounts).
