OK, I posted an auction. Feel free to bid but it's not for real (there
is a reserve price, in the dollars, for a single 1x2 brick). However I
don't see it when I refresh the "new list"... is there a lag on that?
Also I had a deuce of a time getting it to take, it kept saying
"something wrong with the BID field" when I was certain there was not,
tried decimal or no decimal. etc. had to start over.
No worries, though.

| (...) I ran across that too. I'm not sure who, but either it or I put a dollar sign in one of the BID fields (would be nice if it said which bid fields). Also, I tried it without a decimal (00) and it didn't like that either. Ciao! (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
