I dunno about you guys, but I always skip over the auctions here and go to the classifieds. In fact, I'd love to see the auctions go away altogether here, just takes up space. I'd prefer to not follow a purchase for five days, I have a life. if there's something out there I like and we can come to an agreement on price I'd prefer to avoid the auction game altogether. I buy/sell on Ebay when it doesn't make sense to list the item on sites like AudioGon. Jeff
