OK, several folks came back to me with confusion over the start time, so I've
updated the webpage to read as follows:
"Parts will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, starting at 12:01
AM, Saturday February 12th (2000), Mountain Standard Time."

I just gotta make things worse: 1st come 1st served on messages *received*
after 12:01 (or 12:01 on the dot)?  As opposed to sent - I have to guess the
lag time between when I send it and when you receive it.  :-O

Nothing is ever simple.  :-)

I can't do anything about the lag time of e-mail.  Sorry.

What I will do, since it seems to be an issue, is check my mail AT midnight on
Friday, and disregard any orders I've received, regardless of their
timestamp.  Thereafter, it's the order I receive it in.

Yeesh.  I didn't think it was that big a deal...
