Guys,
	I've been thinking about this.  The last day and a half or so there
have been no new bidders, just you folks counter-bidding.  This is costing 
you guys bucks as it is driving the prices up and up.  

	I'm perfectly content with the auction so far, so i've decided to
stop accepting bids and get everyones "sealed bids" for games.  This will
get them out of my hands and into your hands sooner, as well as keep the 
prices from skying out.  IMO, this is the way to run an email auction, a 
few days to a week to get folks interested then sealed bids to get it done
with.

	SO, rules of sealed bids.  You can only bid on a game that you are 
listed by.  You cannot bid lower than the current high bid. Games with one 
person in the current bid column can be considered sold.  Email me the 
highest price you are willing to pay for the game in question.  Please 
remember to include your name as not all of your headers have this 
information.  MONDAY NIGHT, 9PM EST, I will compare all the sealed bids and 
whoever has the highest will win by a $1 over the second highest bid.
If you bid $15 and someone bids $12 you'll win the game at a cost of $13.
I'll keep the bids if you want to make sure i'm not driving up the prices 
(but if I were wouldn't I just keep this running for a few weeks?). 

	Please put "Sealed Bid" in the subject of your bids.  Also, don't 
send checks or anything if you have already "won" a game until I post final
results on Monday.

	Don't forget you still have postage above and beyond this cost!

	Games with no bids next to them are still available and you can 
include them in your sealed bids.  I'll *consider* bids less than the minimum
bid on these but *doubt* i'll take them.  Most are magazines and they can sit
on my coffee table where they have been for a while! 8)

	After that, i'll notify the winners and post to everywhere this
message will get sent to.  Then, you guys can send me checks, money orders,
and i'll send out the games.  I'll let you guys know postage (except foreign
orders, i'll have to guess at these and we can work something out).

	Any questions can be emailed to me at brian@tpocc.gsfc.nasa.gov or
you can call me at work 301-497-2506.
