There are three bid sites, right? Facebook, here and ITR?
How does one know here what one has bid on FB (or vice versa)?
Or does someone have the terrible job of updating each site on a constant basis? (Glad it's not me!!)

Hi Rick,

Great question! Yes, three of us volunteers are monitoring all three sites ....not quite 24 hours/day, but very often. In the final hours we will be glued to our laptops!! My casa's Internet better not fail me!!! So far it's easy peasy, but talk to me at the end of the week, Ha, Ha!!

Happy Bidding All!....and THANKS for your support!
Maureen
