Bliss' Minifig Auction
----------------------

Current status and images available at:

This is a simple auction of 13.5 castle, space, and pirate mini-figs
which have been collecting dust in my closet.  I'd rather they were
getting some use in your creations than just looking good in my storage.

All of the figures are used, but in fairly good shape.  The printing is
still in good condition, without scrapes or abrasions.  Each fig comes
equipped as shown in the images on the web page (I have no idea how
they were originally outfitted, I simply matched up figs with helmets
and weapons).

There are very simple rules:

1. The auction will be run in a G1, G2, sold format.
2. Bids will start advancing on Monday, March 15th.  After the first
    advance, they will advance every 24 hours.
3. The bid increment is $0.50 on items less than $10.00.  If
    (incredibly) anything goes over $10.00, bid increments will be
$2.00.
4. To bid, send me an e-mail at partsref@att.net.
5. In your first message, you must include your full name and mailing
    address.  If you have a special nickname you want me to use in
    updates, let me know that, too.
6. In all bid messages, mention which 'fig(s) you are interested in,
and
    how much you want to bid on each one.
7. For an auction this small, I will handle proxy bidding.  Unless you
    say otherwise, I assume all bids are soft bids.  If you want to do a

    hard bid, tell me in your bid-message.
8. I will send out daily updates to all bidders, and post updates to
    the lugnet.market.auction and rec.toys.lego newsgroups.
9. Buyers pay postage from West Michigan, USA.
10. All bids are expected in US dollars.  Likewise, all payments are
    expected in US dollars.
11. I have the right to pull any item from the auction at any time.
12. Once you are done bidding, and all your lots are sold, let me know.
    I will figure your postage, and let you know your total.
13. After I receive your payment, I will send out your mini-figs.
    I use USPS 1st class, unless you tell me something different.
