Re: Auction

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi Bob,

I don't think Vancouver has been very receptive to our adverts the last 
couple years.  Their plant club kinda fell apart.

We could probably use a posting on the APD or other forums.  And of 
course, e-mail on our own lists.

Posters are always good, but tricky since the stores consider it 
competition.

We're going to be fine for computers, but the more that people can bring 
the less painful for me getting them from work. :)

Sam, I guess that's a GO for getting them from ANW -- $300-350 seems 
right.
