i was wondering if anyone in this forum who won 
a mandarake silent auction ending on 24 december 
2002 had heard back from mandarake? my bid is 
listed as the highest for a certain auction that 
ended that day... but i still haven't heard back 
from the company. i had written them (in the 
notes box on the bidding page when making my 
bid) asking them if i could combine shipping on 
auctions i might win that day with an auction i 
won the day before. i haven't heard back about 
the christmas eve auction, nor have i received 
an email from them addressing a separate email i 
sent recently regarding the auction and 
combining shipping. every other time i've 
emailed mandarake, i've gotten a response within 
the hour. so i'm getting a little worried since 
i haven't heard for a few days... but i'm not 
sure if it's warranted. is it the holiday 
season? am i missing something? should i give it 
till the new year? advice anyone?
