Don't remember. I think you have to register now. The auction last's till Wednsday (I think) so you may be able to show up, register and bid by the end of the auction. They are monthly now. Every month starting on a Monday. There is a URL that should explain everything. Don't have it here though. I 'll get it tomorrow.
