Announcing Bill & Doug's Fabuland and Castle Auction
Or: Bill and Doug's 9th Excellent Adve^H^H^Huction.
This is the first of Bill's spring sets auctions. Many marvels
from the depths of old stores, as well as used sets put back together
will be offered in the coming months. Over 100 space sets, as well
as many town sets are waiting patiently their turn.
This auction consists of brand new Fabuland sets, mostly small, a
couple large, rescued from German toy shops. Also included are
a small number of VERY desireable used castle sets.
Erik Wilson and his brother Rolf have most graciously made their
auction-bot program available, and I have set it up for this auction.
The address of the auction-bot is: auction@mrfws1.innovation.com.
Mail for the auction must be sent directly to the auction-bot,
with the words "fabuland auction" in the SUBJECT line.
The most important commands to get started are:
name <name you want to be known by in this auction>
describe *
help
The short form of help is appended below.
For those that have trouble with e-mail syntax, or are just more
comfortable with the web, I introduce:
A WEB INTERFACE TO THE AUCTIONBOT!!
Point your browser to:
http://mrfws1.innovation.com/~auction/index.html
There you can see the results of my previous several auctions,
as well as the current status of the "fabuland" auction.
I'm sorry but the web-based bidding tool is still broken. I hope to
have it fixed someday soon. Probably after I move to a different
server.
Attached is the complete description of the lots.
Happy Bidding!
