Dear Bobbi,

Dear Members????
We regret to inform you that do to the present economy situation
TOPNOTCHAUCTIONS will be closing down.
We have diligently tried to find someone to take over the site but have been
unsuccessful.

We do appreciate your loyalty and support and hope that you will find another
site to your satisfaction.

This site is one to go to. http://www.romahawk.com

We wish you all the success in the future.

Thanks Team TNA

That's sad TNA,

I know they put a lot of time and effort into growing a dream. Hope something works out better for them, it usually does.

Wow,
That's also a trip down memory lane...........so many good have gone before.

Hopefully one day that list will include

ebay.com


Now that would be funny!

I do like the color scheme of romahawk auctions....maybe I can set up patchauctions like that in the future...

Add Loudfrog that evaporated with my 250/300 listings, LOL Poof! No warning, woke up one morning & they were GONE

I think we need to take Kenzy's donuts away so he can update his lists.
