There have been lots of questions about bidding and how it will work, so I thought I'd walk you through the process. :)
Bidding is incredibly simple. Once you find an item you want to bid on, you click on the comment link below the item description. You don't have to sign up for anything or do anything special. All you need is an email address. Once the commenting system is open, you will enter your name and email.. THIS MUST BE A VALID EMAIL SO WE CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU WIN!!! Once you've got that information entered, you will go down to the box that says "type comment here" and enter your bid amount.
If you want to be notified when you are outbid on an item, make sure the little box that says "subscribe to all coments by email" is checked. (See pic below). It should automatically be set for you to post as a guest, but if not, click the top tab on the left that says "guest". (If you get a little pop up box asking if you'd like to sign up for Disqus, just click the box in the lower left corner that says "just post as guest".)
Writing it out like that made it seem so much more complicated than it really is. I just wanted to cover all of our bases. In fact, feel free to make a comment here just to practice using the system. You can just put a "$" in the post so we know that you are just testing the system. If you have a question, you can also post that below. Just a suggestion--you may want to turn of comment subscription if you do practice on this one. I doubt you want notifications every time someone practices. :)

Just so you know, your email address WILL NOT be visible for others and we will not use it unless we need to contact you about an item. :)
