I used Archimedian while I worked in the Corporate Purchasing Department for a National Builder (that is hurting pretty bad right now). Anyway, I managed all the Reverse Auctions for the country, sometimes running 2 or 3 a month, we saved millions. They were very successful - I had it down to a science. We even created a process that made it palatable to the Vendors. To make my long story short - when I left that Builder, I started my own company, basically doing everything I did there, but now for other Builders. Joe was going to partner with my company, to offer his services, and split our fees with his company - which basically was a % of the projected savings, resulting from an event. I need a new Reverse Auction company! I actually have a couple of events in the air - and when I tried to reach Joe... well, I guess he's in Vegas... This sucks. ANY HELP or GUIDANCE would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Please send me an e-mail, if you have any ideas, at annie.brown@corporatepurchasing.net - or you can try to reach me through Yahoo Messenger at annie_mae_tx@yahoo.com. Thanks for any help you can lend! Annie Hi everyone,

The last statistic I saw on his "Bluff Power Rating" (a real stat) he was trailing he was 2883rd behind the leader J.C. Tran. Sourcing causes gaming theory to come into play again.
