<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 19506, member: 54"]Here's a different format for the auction info the House sent out today-we felt lucky to have hogged two of the four photos for "session 1" when our cannons are much less than 50% of the lot numbers. The cannon photos do get your attention, though, whereas the umpteen-thousandth rifle or revolver might not.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://link.auctionzip-email.com/YesConnect/HtmlMessagePreview?a=ziMMIeqttUMycYGvSxQ9DT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://link.auctionzip-email.com/YesConnect/HtmlMessagePreview?a=ziMMIeqttUMycYGvSxQ9DT" rel="nofollow">http://link.auctionzip-email.com/YesConnect/HtmlMessagePreview?a=ziMMIeqttUMycYGvSxQ9DT</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I've now posted auction info on about 1200 of my FB friends' timelines, and I'd guess roughly 5% have shared it with all their friends.
