I am initiating a >public auction of this priceless item. Minimum Bid A$ 0. Since I'm not sure if a bid of A$ 0 would be valid, I bid A$ 1 for The Really Big Blue Thing That Doesn't Do Too Much Really.

Where's it gone...? This bid would have been in time, but the high bid in the auction was already A$55 by JT, who wins the auction that ended within the last hour. I am beginning the building of a new Scroll of Crumble, since there is apparently still interest. It will be completed in 3 days. /dev/joe ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 May 1998 11:00:18 -0400 (EDT) From: JT Traub Subject: Re: Acka: Scroll of Crumble Auction. > If it is still going on I bid A$50 for the Scroll of Crumble. > Unless that is too small in which case I bid the smallest bid I can make >for it. > Well, on the 29th of Apr, I bid A$ 55 on it, I'm not sure if his bid of 'the smallest bid I can make is legal', but if it is, I then proceed to bid A$70 which is larger than that smallest bid :) - --JT ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 May 1998 11:09:16 -0400 (EDT) From: "Joseph W.

The auction lasts 3 days or until 3 hours after the last bid, whichever is later, and both of those were satisfied before you bid this, regardless whether or not H*bert's bid is valid. I know we have decided this sort of thing in CFJs before, but I am too busy to look it up now, work awaits. /dev/joe ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 May 1998 11:21:28 -0400 (EDT) From: JT Traub Subject: Re: Acka: Scroll of Crumble Auction. >> Well, on the 29th of Apr, I bid A$ 55 on it, I'm not sure if his bid of >> 'the smallest bid I can make is legal', but if it is, I then proceed >> to bid A$70 which is larger than that smallest bid :) > >In any case, the auction is already over before this bid.

I just wasn't sure of the exact time on when the auction was over or if he'd gotten in before then (my link died for about 12 hours last night and I was quickly catching up on mail). Thanks for clearing it up. - --JT ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 May 1998 23:02:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Towsner Subject: Acka: Ackan Reserve Financial Report Daily News: else took the ARFR's failure to publish yesterday as an opportunity to regain lost ground.

I just forget to put "A$" on the line when you created the Trinket.
