[Richard Longhurst]

WWW.AUCLAND.CO.UK GOES LIVE IN THE UK ON OCTOBER 13TH 1999.  ONE OF THE

FIRST ITEMS TO BE AUCTIONED WILL BE � MILLION POUNDS STARTING PRICE OF JUST

�1.00.


Says a very shouty e-mail invite.


Leading auction site in France, they say, gunning for QXL, just raised $18

million funding, set up by 25 year-old entrepreneur Fabrice Grinda, blah

blah blah. Zut alors.
