Michael,

CONGRATS!

However, when I clicked the yahoo link, I got this web page instead: "Sorry, the page you requested was not found...The story or page you were trying to access may have expired."

You might want to check that out.

Good Luck!

Cynique,

Like we say down heh in da souf. Fa SHO!
You can count on me like an abacus (wait, that was corny, oh well).

The first auction only hit about $50. Recently, I listed it again and it has already reached $200. You can follow the new auction here:

Hey, congrats on the auction! $200--Plus publicity about the effort. You should write an article about the experience of selling space in your book, and publish that somewhere...

Love the site! Do you have a permanent URL for the Adweek piece? The link on your page appears to be broken.

I guess the link finally expired. If you click the logo on my site, a PDF of the article should pop up. Thanks for the heads up!
