SO you really think web based auctioning is the way to go? Hmmm.
As a bidder I like e-mail, because I like "push" delivery, especially
of outbid notices. It's much easier to see your e-mail flag go
up than to remember to visit the appropriate web site.
But then I know I'm weird, since I like things delivered in plain text.

I looked at the everyauction source, and it looks pretty straightforward
to set up. Does it automatically e-mail outbids and winning bid
notices? (I know, RTFM...)
I might give it a try.
Maybe everybody was just off at the beach over Memorial Day weekend,
and now wants to come back to Lego.
