Snippet:
>> No, no! That's crash Harder and faster :^)

No one else has figured out that the real money is in the _information_
about what sold at auction for what? Ever wonder why Christie's will give
you a catalog of things for auction but will _sell_ you the results? On
line auctions are here to stay and they open a whole new area of
opportunity (as this list knows all too well)
