why arent ther very many items being entered into the auction....?
i would have thought people would have seen this as a great way to get 
rid of some stuff and help out grex at the same time also.....
im getting ready to enter a few more items myself...
 -Chad C.

I agree - I hope everyone will try to think of things they want to get rid
of that someone else might want, and send mail to aution@cyberspace.org
offering the item in the auction.  Think hard!

say mark, 
When does this auction officaly end anyway?
when can I stop getting rid of thigs i dont want for the good will of 
mankind?
I mean grex.... >^:)    -Chad C.

There is no official end date - at some point, when things are winding down,
the auctioneers will declare a moratorium on new submissions.  But not until
it looks like there's no longer enough active items to keep many people
coming back to the conference.

So, that's not much of an answer; I guess I should say, put things in as
soon as possible!

I didn't know I was trying to get rid of Jim.  I certainly could have found
a use for him myself.

It's nice of you to donate bits and pieces of Jim for the improvement 
of Grex, Sindi!

You're welcome, jep!

It was more of a time-sharing arrangement.  He did not get dismembered.

<phew!>

Maybe I could have phrased that a little better...

EeWw! tod! grossness!

wait, i thought polytarp was banned from this conference? why is he still 
able to post responces? 
<Fuzzball thinks hard and results in a headace>

He is not banned from the conference, just from the auction: any bids he
offers will be ignored.

Right.  There is no way to ban someone from a Grex conference.

oh. ok.

Yeah, not gonna go there.

how would i go abut getting my own conference?
like ive browsed bbs
and several users (some i havent seen on grex in ages) have personal
conferences of there own.... how could i go about getting one of my own? I
would really be interested in running a serious one of my own.
 -Chad C.

New conferences come about when someone enters an item in the coop
conference requesting them.

thanks
<fuzzball heads to coop>

You could put one up for sale, Mark.

Heh.  Except that everyone else got theirs for free. ;)

Yeah.  You know, I have my own "Grex bat", too.  There's nothing wrong 
with intangibles.  I'm sure you'd make it clear so there'd be no 
deception involved.

I went through and retired all the items that have closed.

Okay.

I think it's time to declare this edition of the auction closed.  Thanks,
everyone, for participating.
