     Once this form is submitted you will receive an e-mail at the address you provided. It will contain your Alias and randomly generated password. Be sure to write down your password and keep it in a safe place. If you lose your password you will need to create a new account. You may change your password by clicking on the Change Registration link.

     The Change Registration form will allow you to change your password and correct contact information. You will be sent a e-mail confirmation when the change has been made.

Closed Auctions
     Here you may view previous auctions that you placed a bid on.

Search Engine
     The search box in the upper right corner of the auction site will allow you to search through the names and descriptions of all listed items for a specific keyword.

How to Bid
     From the Category List page, click the category of the item you would like to view. You will then be presented with a list of items. Click on the item that you would like to view. You are now able to see a picture of the item as well as a description, current bid, bid history, and an area near the bottom to allow you to place your bid. Simply type in your alias, password, and the amount you would like to bid and click the button labeled "Place Bid." You will be taken to a confirmation screen that you may wish to print.

How to Bid (continued)
     If you are outbid by another user you will receive an e-mail alert. This email will contain a link that will lead you back to the item so you may bid on it again. The auction will continue for a set period of time at which point the highest bidder will be notified by e-mail that they have won the auction. They will then need to contact the seller to arrange for payment.

Reserve Price
     The reserve price is the minimum price that the item can be sold for. It varies by item and some may have none at all. If the bid has not yet reached the reserve price you will see a note next to the Last Bid saying"(reserve price not yet met)." If the reserve price has still not been met when the auction closes neither the high bidder or the seller has any obligation to continue the transaction.

Rules and Disclaimers
     Buyers and sellers are responsible for making payment arrangements. If anything goes wrong, it wasn't me...
