IdEB WATCH
aggie land auctions, com
Have something that you don't want any
more? Need some fast cash? Forget the pawn
shop. Forget ebay. Check out Aggieland
Auctions.
Aggieland Auctions works like ebay by
offering a forum to buy and sell items.
Unlike ebay, however, it does not charge a
seller’s fee, and items can be placed for sale
for one day to two months. Standard and
Dutch auctions are also available. Sellers can
set a reserve, or minimum, price and can post
an image of the item up for sale.
Despite these impressive features, the site is
lacking in a few departments. Buyers can only
purchase featured merchandise via check,
money order or Visa. In addition, the site cur
rently has only 17 registered users.
Nonetheless, if more users register and use
the Web site, it will make a nice alternative to
large auction houses. Aggielandauctions.com
features a clean, simple layout that is easy to
load on any computer. Most, if not all. users
are Aggies, giving a certain familiarity
between buyer and seller.
While Aggieland Auctions will probably
never be a competitor to ebay or local pawn
shops, it's a great way to get rid of any
unwanted items and make a little extra spend
ing money.

ANTHONY
Singer Marc Anthony
and wife renew vows
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -
Singer Marc Anthony and former
Miss Universe Dayanara Torres
renewed their wedding vows,
five months after announcing
their separation.
The couple emerged
Saturday from the grand
Cathedral of
San Juan
holding hands
and kissing as
bridesmaids
in scarlet
gowns show
ered them
with white
rose petals.
Hundreds of well-wishers
lined the narrow cobblestone
streets outside the cathedral.
The couple responded with one
more kiss before being whisked
away in a black limousine.
A private reception followed
in the courtyard of a colonial-
era garrison located a short dis
tance from the cathedral. The
lavish ceremony was attended
by other well-known artists,
politicians and sports figures.
Although they announced a
split in July, the couple never
legally filed for separation.
Torres has described the church
wedding as "a new beginning."
Anthony, a Grammy-winning
singer born in New York to
Puerto Rican parents, married
Torres in a Las Vegas civil cere
mony on May 10, 2000.
PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
The plan was always to do
the church wedding," said
Jennifer Neiman, Anthony's
publicist. "It was one of those
things that they always intend
ed to do and they never found
the time to do."
Coppola agrees to pay
$31.5 mil for vineyard
NAPA, Calif. (AP) - Film
director Francis Ford Coppola
has agreed to pay $31.5 mil
lion — a wine industry record
— for the Cohn Vineyard in
Napa Valley.
The deal
brings an
end to a bid
ding war
between
Coppola and
Robert
Mondavi. The
maker of
Apocalypse
Now and the The Godfather
series will pay an estimated
$350,000 per acre for the
prized vineyard, the San
Francisco Chronicle reported.
Coppola is a veteran vintner
with more than 30 years
experience in Napa Valley.
The Cohn Vineyard is
renowned as one of the best
locations to grow cabernet in
Napa Valley, if not the world,
said Mike Fisher, a vineyard
expert with the St. Helena
consulting firm of Motto Kryla
& Fisher.
"You can make very nice
COPPOLA
wines and sell themfone
high prices," he said. 1tVi I

Properties like Cohn
Vineyard come on the mi
every 10 to 15 years, bu!
industry lawyer Jeff Sefftife
the price Coppola paid
“shocking."
He said it seemed particu
larly high since the deal
comes just after the sale 1 -
the Suscol Bench Vineyard
$60,000 an acre. It is locate:
five miles away.
