For auctions I recommend BidVille. Nowhere near as much traffic as eBay, but nowhere near as many asinine rules either. You pay $5 to register for 6 months then listing is free (though I've heard rumors they're going to start charging FVF's down the road). Also you can have longer auctions, or relist automatically as many as 20 times. One screen of info to fill in too, as opposed to eBay's five.
Let us know what your ID is and I'm sure we'll look at them. You have several items I already mentioned an interest in. P.S. The Infocom "Passport" catalog belongs in the Leather Goddesses package. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Sewell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 9:26 AM Subject: [SWCollect] here's the list > All, > > Thanks for all your replies.
