hi all, an auction is coming out soon for players to bid on CDs with either mpeg or DivX (whatever number of episodes that fit into a 700MB CD), so if you haven't joined the stock exchange it's about time now.

You should post this on the FSE forum too, you know. BTW, what's the deal with this? You are actually going to mail people CDs? Or do people get 700mb credit on an FTP?

#### yes i forgot to post it on the site there, but this auction thing has been planned before the site started, so it should be somewhere in the FAQ/SAQ :) re the CDs, i think it's cheaper for me to mail it than chewing up my ISP's bandwidth, and it'll actually be good for most people since you can keep the CD plus 14.4K modem users can't really download 700MB on the net can they? i might as well make 3 MPEG into VCD if the winner wants that :)

Are any other auctions planned? For example, I already have every futurama, so I don't really need a CD of them.

hi all,

the auction is now up and running for a cdfull of futurama episode mailed directly to your home! and you don't need to be in the game for long to win the auction because you need the cold hard cash to bid, and most 'olders' players have already spent their money on shares, if you're a new player, you get $20,000 cash, so everyone can win.

enjoy!

will.
