[inquiry]

Not sure where we should send out guesses as to the best auction. In another post, pigpenz offered to help whoever would take over collecting the votes, and if no one would step up, he offered to do it again. I don't know where we left that.

So far three of the experts have sent their replies, and i expect another one soon. We will have to repopulate the panel. I am not sure when they should be turned in, since I am not sure who it tabulating the votes... we may just go with the expert votes if necessary. Anyone wanting to volunteer send me a message.
