Okay, now we've got some collectors coming forward.  Hopefully some of the
original Infocom packages this time around should grab further interest.
I've also received a query as to how long the auction will last.  I'm
shooting for the end of April, or until all products are sold, but I may
bring this date up a bit as necessary.

Most Internet auction rules apply, namely:

    1) All sales are final.
    2) Buyers pay all shipping costs (which will depend on the weight and
       bulk of items).
    3) I will attempt to update the auction twice per week, most likely
       Mondays and Thursdays, until all items are sold.
    4) Send your bids via e-mail to ceforma@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu.  Do not
       post bids as follow-ups.
    5) Please do not bid unless you are both willing and able to pay.
    6) Please list bids individually, rather than bidding one large price
       for a group of items.

==============================================================================

NEW PRODUCTS:  This should be the last update, as most of my orders have
               come in.  Some very nice original Infocom boxes here.

    "Bureaucracy"
    For Apple II, with all original materials.
    Minimum bid is $10.


    "Deadline"
    For Apple II, with all original materials.  Not just any original
      materials either, but the ORIGINAL original materials.  (I'm talking
      about the nifty evidence folder and inspectors casebook that early
      80's releases were packaged in.  Quite rare.)
    Minimum bid is $15.


    "Hollywood Hijinx"
    For Apple II.  Missing the photo and will, but in original box.
    Minimum bid is $10.


    "Zork III"
    For Apple II, in original box with goodies.  Also contains disks (but
      no goodies) for Zork 1 and 2, and the Zork 3 map that came with the
      Invisiclues.
    Minimum bid is $10.


    "Zork Zero"
    For Apple II, in original packaging.
    Minimum bid is $10.

==============================================================================
Unless stated otherwise, all games come with original box and all props.
Please feel free to request further details on any item.
