Alain,
I think your messages may come through clearer in your own English, rather
than using the translator, which obviously misconstrues your words in many
cases.
I also think you will find most members of this list would rather not compete
in a private auction as you suggest. There are places like eBay for this.
Transactions amongst list members are generally to help each of us in our
various afflictions of Zuikoholism, and adding competitive bidding tends to
erode the comradery of the list.
