[TriLUG] TriLUG Auctions -- http://moya.trilug.org/cgi-bin/auctionweaver.pl -- Sparc and Alphas

[Thunder Bear]

Jeremy,

Thanks for setting this up.  If this system works well, I may have some 
stuff to "donate" to the auction.  Don't want to dilute what is already 
there though.

Question:  If someone bids higher on an item than I have already bid, 
will this thing email me and let me know?

One nice feature to have, if it is available with this software, is 
proxy bidding which is a good way to somewhat take the thunder away 
from snipers.
