Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe started out as a manually run auction site back in 1998. You can see an example of one of those old auctions here:

http://www.imc-ltd.com/rockets/indexauct24.htm

I later got my own domain name and expanded the website. I added an automated auction program years ago. For awhile it was popular, but I stopped promoting it and it fell by the wayside.

With eBay's charges going up and up, people are looking for other avenues to auction off their rocketry items. The YORS auction always has been and always will be free of charge. Feel free to stop by at http://www.rocketshoppe.com/cgi-bin/auction.pl to either put some rocketry items up for sale or to place a bid.

Should the YORS auction become popular enough again, I will upgrade to the software to the latest version that has many of eBay's features in it. You can see a demo of what the new software looks like here: http://www.auction-script.com/cgi-bin/auction.pl

To make the auction site easier to find (even though it's in the menu on the main Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe site) I added an auctions link to the main nav bar here in the forum.

One other thing that's been confusing for people. The forum and the auction site are two different entities. I've had the auction site up since early 2001. The forum didn't go up till early 2005. A number of you signed up on the auction site years ago and just don't remember doing it. The password used here in the forum is not at all linked with the password used on the auction site. If you forgot your password on the auction site, you can go to the Member Services link in the auction site to have it sent to you. Here's a direct link:

If you don't have a login account on the auction site, just click on the Register link there to set yourself up with one.

For those of you helping out with getting the auction site rolling again, I recommend that you post a link here in the for sale section to the item you're selling on the auction. That will help get buyers going over there until things get really rolling again.

Anyone bidding (or planning to bid) on the items I have posted, PM me with a zip and let me know the item and I'll try to get you a shipping cost. These boxes are 4X4X22. This evening they will get wrapped for shipment so they should be at their final shipping weight. Thanks.

Thought I'd try the auction feature as well. Just put up four kits--Liberator, Ecee, Flat Cat, and Southern Cross.

Oh man!......Look what's just been posted up for auction.......Have you ever seen one of these up for auction anywhere? (If you have, don't tell anyone )
