Maggie the Auction Hound was delighted with the neighborhood children who came dressed up for Halloween on Tuesday night. Nary a bark from this beagle, even when David tried putting dog-antlers on her head as a makeshift costume. (I know, wrong season.) Anyway, they kept sliding under her chin so she looked like she had a strange pointy beard.

We have a great line-up this issue - an article on shill bidding, an auction software review, the low-down on Sony PlayStation 2 (they are HOT!), and more.

I've included in this newsletter the entire Newsflash column from the past two days instead of the headlines for the entire week. Let me know what you think.

And don't forget to vote on Tuesday!
