What happened to $1 Auctions

I just looked at the list and seen a bunch of names with starting prices in the hundreds ?

http://www.dnforum.com/auctionlist.php

Do those of us that listed for $1 get to ready or opening bid ?

bidawinner,
My understanding is the $ 1.00 starts are not mandatory untill the "next" auction.

Correct. The $1.00 requirement for Starting bids is NOT for tonight's auction! That $1.00 requirement for Starting bids BEGINS on Saturday's (1/25) auction.
Now, I've heard that there will be weekly auctions on Saturday's (presumably with that $1.00 Starting bid requirement), but there ALSO might be a SECOND weekly auction (on Sunday's) in the future which will NOT require a $1.00 Starting bid ... and it MAY be fee-based, as well.
Got it now?
Good Luck.

No rules changed. Next week is a Saturday auction, with $1 listings.

Thats been that way.

Something did say a $1.00

But I think it was starting for the Saturday auctions.

Either way it will work itself out. I think Saturday will pull more people out.

Yup. I've 'pulled out ... for a raucous hockey game and some serious imbibing!
Good Luck.
