[Deptheads] Auction

[Eric M. Aldrich I]

I know I used to despise having separate auctions. I don't think we need to do this yet. We'll know after Gateway.

While I don't think it will be as ugly at Gamex (Paul swears that's the last big pile for a long while), we had a 3-hour marathon this last time and it was tough on all of us who sat through the whole thing. We did try to break it up by game type this time just to see how that worked.

People would have no reason not to shop right away Monday.
