Personally I gave up on excite when they went to the outlet auctions because bidding fell off so much because it was impossible to find the person to person auctions. Are the rest of the FairMarket auctions going to follow suit. Talk about no advanced warning.

You might want to try Lycos if you want to stay with the Fairmarket auctions. I sell there and haven't got that email, yet.

I believe the Fairmarket C2C space is dead. MSN - gone - Excite gone - Lycos just about gone. Too bad, at one point they were a real competitor against the dark side.
