Psst: Milsims has it in stock. $75 BEFORE discount. $67.50 with Dockers discount. One is on hold for me. Can't wait.

so what is the best tool for doing this ebay sniping?

Shawn, Ben?

I use www.gixen.com

It's FREE. The rest of the other sniping sites makes you pay for sniping once the trial is over.

Used it with much success.

No idea Jeff; I use auctionsniper.com because I'll never forget the URL

Got the breadmaker today. Had to install a switch to make the kneader spin constantly instead of stop-starting. Roasted up some Ethiopian Gambella, works a treat!

Carlos asked "why not use an oven?". That's like saying "why not play Bang?"

cerebral stuff,
whats wrong with an oven, at the risk of being branded a hippy , too late for that .I used to roast dandelion coffee till I decided it was easier to buy it. You can smell when it's ready too.

Chicago Express - it was at the "other" store. I saw one copy sitting in it's shipping box (saw Strozzi, Syllia (sp?), and a few others too). There may have been other copies. I was politely told it had to be added to stock, and check again tomorrow night.

IGA - not playing enough new releases to warrant my spot. It'd be better going to someone more tuned in these days like Larry Levy or Melissa. Stay by your phones everyone... Mr Schloesser may be calling

Mmm... Chicago Express. That's another game on my "To Try" radar. Love Queen game components. A Queen train game sounds like a good match.

Thanks Doug.

YOWZA! 80 bucks for a card game. Pass. Will try before I buy. Damn AU$...

I see you rated it a 10 Doug! High praise indeed!

Gaming popcorn ... can't stop playing it. Janet loves it... plays fast ... feels different. I'm off the IGA now so I can stop rating games .... old habits

Yeah, the AUD is terrible - $70 for the Zooloretto expansion, and it felt like there was nothing in it!

Chicago Express has turned up too... shudder to think what that's going to cost.

Off IGA? WHY?

Wait for the Milsims sale. I'll probably end up doing that for any purchases in the near future. Don't need anything urgently.

Chicago Express? Where? Mind Games? Probaby going to be $80-90.

Russell did have at least 1 copy in Good Games yesterday, give him a call - (03) 9670 0102

There was a copy there at GG at about 12:25. Didn't see the price.

To check: how much was it at Mindgames? Will ring Russ to check on cost of his copy.

Played 2 games of Dominion today. Can see why it appeals to Magic players who are into deck construction. Must have come in just after you left, dougadams! Too bad we couldn't catch up.

The copy of Dominion was still there when I left at 1.40pm.

Yes, too bad. I was there with Roger Smith until around 12:30 - we were admiring the lack of weight in the Zooloretto XXL expansion I had to get back to work, too. Good to check out the store, though. They have a nice setup there.
