Well guys and gals I tried. Went to the Bid.com site and the Lava Lamp immediately caught my attention. The last time I say one of these was at Walmart last month when the had a pile as big as a mountain. Anyway I had to have it so I tried to run the auction but no way would Real Audio run. Tried a couple of times and guess what? Crashed my computer (heard this one before?). Overall I give the auction 2 out of ten for selection and .5 for effort. Why anyone would ever shop like this is a complete mystery to me??? LOL!!

Hi David well I wasn't that impressed, my browser Netscape had trouble updating the item bidding on the left side of the screen, did you have the same problem. Audio was good, but the girls, like where did they come from, like lets party, like you know, like, like, like.some sad,like worse than the home shopping network also i had to reload to bring up latest item for bidding, all in all was a good experiment, but don't know where they are going with this, may be ahead of the crowd, ie modem speeds generally around 33.6 and many users still at netscape 3.0, which i prefer over 4.0. your comments please as it seems their tech people need the feedback and tech support needs to be expanded. Also did you get the feeling the the price reduction was calculated, kind of it would go down so faR and the time would run out, like they didn't sell that much.like why time it out, why not let it keep going down in price until it's sold, at least you would get rid of the item, like what's the purpose.I'll talk to them in the morning.like,like let's go get something to eat, did you get that little slip at the end about the food being so big in new york, like everything in new york is big later john
