How do you display your collection? In Part II of my series, Leslie Hindman, famed auctioneer and antiques expert, answers my questions about displaying collections (see Collector's Corner). A big thank you to Leslie for taking the time to share her experience.
Speaking of sharing experience, I'd love to hear what online auction management software program you use. What do you like about it? What features would you like to see added? Please email me, and post a message to the message board!

I have been going through old photo albums, inspired by one of this week's stories, "Nostalgic About Childhood Treasures." Steve Blenus writes about old toys, and I was digging through the albums to find pictures of my family as children clutching their toys. What a great diversion!
I gathered some pictures from family and friends and posted them to the Web site (http://www.auctionbytes.com/Email_Newsletter/toypics/toypics.html). Take a look. The first three people that email me and correctly identify the photo of me as a child win $10 each. (Yes, totally unfair, since very few of you know what I look like. Well, I finally added my photo to the Web site in the "Our Writers" section - check out http://www.auctionbytes.com/Write_For_Us/WriterBios/writerbios.html. Not that I think it will help too much,... In the next issue, I'll announce the winners, and I'll also clue you in as to who's who in this rogue's gallery.

David had a bout of Summeritis as he sat at his computer looking at all the work he had to do, so in this week's column, he writes about auction burnout! He also chose vacation spots as his Found in the Attic column. (Think he's trying to tell us something?)
One of David's many tasks was to implement a new message board. Please take a look and let us know what you think. We hope you'll participate in discussions.
Hang in there, David, vacation is right around the corner! We are taking our vacation the last week of July. We plan to head up to Maine along the coast, perhaps as far as Belfast. If anyone knows of any cabins/cottages available that take dogs and tired husbands, please let me know! See you in August.
