HOME PAGE
On the top right you’ll see Auction Rules followed by How to Bid.
At any time, you can return to this page by clicking the “Home” tab on the upper left.
CATEGORIES & ITEMS
The other tabs will take you directly to the different categories of items. Click on any one to see the individual items.
Once you’ve clicked on one of these Category Tabs, you can scroll down to see all the items in that category and the details about each item.
A slide show of the items in this category will be running on the left of the page. Clicking a picture on the slide show will only take you to the photo and not to the actual item description and bidding site.
Underneath the slide show on the right hand side of the page you will see each item listed. If you don’t, you can click on “2011” under WHAT’S HERE and then on “November”, and the list will display. You can click on the name of any item to go directly to that item.
At any time, from within any category, clicking HOME at the BOTTOM of the page will return you to the first entry for the category. Clicking the Home Tab on the upper left will return you to the front page.
You can, of course, navigate around with your “back” and “forward” buttons on your browser.
