    So - website dramas aside, was it worthwhile? Run it again next year?

    Keep the website dramas in I reckon. Makes for added excitement and drew attention. If it was all orderly it would have been over in 30 mins and flat as a tack for the rest of the day.

    Even better, start at 7.00 or 7.30am and give the commuters something to do on the way to work. :)

    Definitely. But would you be able to give us a few weeks or a month to prepare, i was just lucky I had a bit of extra $$ laying around.

    Yes, do it again. Teething problems aside a great idea and good buying opportunities.
    Now that I understand how the shopping cart system works will definitely be prepared for
    next time.

    Thanks to GP for organising this and all the other dealers who came on board to make it
    a success. Can't wait till the next one.

    However the day is still not over. Roll on 9pm for Bullion List temptations.

    Next year is to long to wait. What a great way to promote PM's to the wider public. I sure am happy with my purchases.

    We wouldn't stay in business - we sold a *lot* of stuff today at or below cost.

    Funny business model but it was kinda fun. Kids can eat next week.

    I didn't notice any computer hassles at all. All went smoothly reckon. I didnhave any money so I deliberately sat next to the boss today to avoid the temptation to have a look and spend money that is needed elsewhere.
    Hope all buyers got some good bargains and had a great day :)

    I think it was a brilliant idea, even though I only had Roo to rely on because I was at work all day and missed most of it :(

    Thanks to Roo for putting some stuff up late :)

    It was Good,however the only stupid thing is it was on a Monday?? 9am of all times!
    They didn't think the time through
    Everyone's either going to work or at work.
    Have it on a Saturday & Sunday Morning,benefits both buyers and sellers and may spread the load on Servers.
    Thats just a consumers opinion
