[vNew]

Hi, Blaine:

Just waded through 70+ pages of this thread.

I also visited some sites that installed vBay.

Here is a suggestion:
It would be very helpful to list the last few bid amounts and their respective bidders' names, up to say 10 bids, or at least 5 bids.

That would make the bidding more informative and interesting, and will likely encourage more participation and hence more bids. As you may know, people tend to be more willing to participate when they see more details and information. Psychologically, it creates more confidence and trust, and therefore less inhibition and greater willingness to participate i.e. to bid.

You're making good progress towards a final stable release. Great work! And I wish you godspeed!

Regards.
