This past one was the 5th (iirc) and last.
Also, any hints on nice auction items this year Frank?

And I'm sure I'll be sitting next to Blackmoor until 4am Friday & Saturday for the auctions too.I wish there was a way to keep the auctions from going later & later each year, but I don't know how it could be done without just moving a lot of stuff to the store.Frank, any ideas for how to keep the auction from going past 1am?
