No slowing down for cults. Sterling performance looking @ the prices fetched :shock:

Agreed.

Demand driven by ? Consumers ? Investors ? Collectors ?

Things seemed to slow down quite a bit around the middle of last year but are picking up near the tail end of this year. Grange and Hog seem to be stable throughout 2003. The release of a mid year wine advocate focussing on Australia always boosts certain cult wines as well.

Mark,

Could u pls re-sett the auction to registered our password. It's a hassle to log-in each time.

Rgds,

Many apologies Martin,

It is not a trivial matter to add it to the software and I would like to think about any security implications, in short I don't think it will be ready before the auction closes on Saturday.

As an alternative you can always change the password to something easy to remember, go to the following page, log in (sorry) and change it:

Does your browser have the ability to remember username/password combinations ?

Does anyone else have any other constructive feedback about the auction site or features they would like to see built in ?

Mark,

Unfortunetely the password is determined/ given by ur auction site which make it difficult to remember. If it's our choice, it's be alot easier.

Cheers,

A random password is generated only in the inital registration. Once you are validated (which you are) you can log in and change it to whatever you like at:
