Title: [ukha_d] Re: [OT] Auction Watching Software

        Ahhh ..I was looking for a standalone application which is why I missed this - of course the modern style is 'use my app' not own your own ! ( a la Bill Gates ).

        First impressions, looks professional, promising, - however missing the UK sites eg Freeserve, QXL. Maybe still an opening for a UK version ? However they have obviously put a lot of time and effort int their site already and I'm sure could add UK localisation very easily making a UK competitor a short lived option. Will keep looking for the moment.

        Thanks Stuart, did you find this by accident by checking the auctionwatch domain ?
