AuctionPatrol It appears that the owner Paul Hale is moving on
to another online career not associated with the OAI. According
to a quote by Paul Hale on the new site, he is planning on getting
rid of all his OAI involvements. If you use his auction pic hosting
or any other of the AP services, we strongly recommend you either
move them to an alternate site, or at a minimum try to find out what
will happen to your information, while you still have access to it.
