Hey guys, have a look, bid on or just ask insulting questions about my auction on trademe. Help drum up some interest and email it to those annoying people who send you kitten pictures. Thanks!

Nup mate they changed the rules....
To get that little red star, one has to pay $10....

Then after that you can get the big red box "AV" for FREE...
but only when they offer it up for free.
