Maybe I should have waited to mention that...there could have been some furious bidding for charity.

Hm. I wonder if we should have bundled together stuff from different contributors?

And from the last auction, this looks to work like an auction-house styled bidding war. Only without an auctioneer setting price increments.

Well, time to sign up for another PayPal credit card...

Edit: Dammit, I think should have edited some of the pictures I sent so as to accentuate which kit from the advert was being sold (and that it was not everything in the ad).
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
