I had both those beaten already, Racket. But now I just got passed on 162...

I think I'll hold off, I'm gonna see where that goes. ;)

I like the new guy's style, but he could embellish more. I think we should all decree our bids in a stately fashion:

"I hereby shalt bid heretofore five score and fifty pence on the number one thousand and forty two."

j/k

welcome aboard!

Heh, quite the bid war that ended up going on. You guys realize you've got two and a half more weeks to keep checking up on this, right?

There's a couple of things I want, but I'll hold off and see what happens...for now.

I see your point, but I can't really add rules mid auction to something as fundamental as bidding.

POSTS UPDATED TO HERE!

Yeah, I figured you'd say that, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Perhaps this could be turned into another fundraiser. The winner gets half the pot and the other half goes to charity? I guess that relies on people actually donating the money somehow, seems a bit risky I suppose.
