                                My first auction
                                        
Last month I wondered how well a score of small, genuine imitation conflict-
free diamonds [1] would do in an eBay [2] auction. Well, I put them up for
auction [3] (just the diamonds, not the transparent case and visual
amplification module). But not at eBay.

At a site called Jittery [4].

I'm participating in the BlogPoint iPod Give-away [5], where:

> * You need to provide a link to your blog, which you intend to enter into
>   the give-away.
> * You need to sign up for the give-away, and display BlogPoint for at least
>   5 days prior to the winning date for an item if you want to qualify for
>   it. For example, if the winner is announced Dec 24, you need to display
>   BlogPoint from the 19th through the 24th.
> * Your blog must be at least a month old at the time of entering the
>   contest.
> * You may only enter one blog.
> * You must be a member of Jittery and over the age of 18.
> * You must be a U.S. citizen.
> 
> “BlogPoint iPod Give-away [6]”
> 

So I signed up with this blog, I'm displaying the BlogPoint (and intend to
for at least through mid-January), this blog is more than one month old (it's
… oh … um … five years [7] old at this point), this is the only blog I'm
entering into the Give-away, I'm a member of Jittery and over 18, and I am a
US (United States) citizen.

Well see how this goes … 

The Jittery site itself seems interesting, not only allowing one to sell
items, but to put up ads for items you want to buy. Neat twist—now I can scan
the site to see what people want that I might have, thus avoiding the hassle
of listing the item(s).

Me, I'm just hoping to get an iPod out of this …
