[games_access] Robert Florio's painting, on eBay now. Raising funds.

[Robert Florio]

Thanks.  Sorry about that.  I didn't have a link to send one person to all
of the separate auctions.  So I send you their my web page and on that page
are that easy to click the links to the auction.  Thanks.  I hope that
helps.

Robert

I think Mark's talking about the ebay links from 
your homepage that you sent us to:

>  To Bid Go Here.

>  http://www.robertflorio.com/Auctioned_Paintings.html

I also cannot get to the ebay auctions for the paintings. Same error
message.
