There's no doubt that a $20 minimum bid stipulation changes the whole context of this particular auction. It now reeks of expoitation rather than someone simply clearing out some things they no longer want to an audience of eager fans.

Given the efforts that many people on this list have made to help out others, make tapes of boots, and to provide specific bits of info, this just chips away at whatever level of community had been established. Received on Wed Nov 26 14:11:49 1997
