I read somewhere that coffee tastes 26% better in an IAP mug...

 

[Karl_99]

I'll bump that up to 50.25

 

[jeff]

The 9th year was the first and only year we've had the "natural" colored mugs. They have just a clear glaze. We had the desk cup in natural that year as well. I really like the look, but they have not been popular. This year I got some of the desk cups in the "Sandstone" color glaze, which is a little darker than the natural, but those have not been popular either. Shows what I know about color!

So, if you like a lighter colored mug, this is your last chance to get one!

 

[Karl_99]

....so now I am not only winning a mug that makes coffee taste better, but no one will steal it either!

 

[Karl_99]

Just in case this gets out, I better bump that bid up again to $60.25

 

[ed4copies]

We've got until tomorrow night Karl!!

I CERTAINLY appreciate your help, but with over 2000 members, if we can't find another bidder, it's time to look for 1999 OTHER new members (YOU definitely should stay!!)

They should show up for Sunday night finishes (he says, crossing his fingers!!)

 

[Karl_99]

Guess I got a little carried away...

 

[ed4copies]

We sincerely hope your enthusiasm is contagious!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[ed4copies]

I'm beginning to think an 8.5 on the Richter scale wouldn't wake up this year's group.

Where are RonMc, MasterScroller and Cav???


Still looking for a Bid, guys!!!

$72 and change will do!!

 

[stonepecker]

I believe I know what is going on. You posted some very nice pen blanks. (I am even going to have to bid on one) And now, they are saving their pennies and raiding the wives change cups to see just how mush they have to start winning them.

Those Blanks look Fantastic..........any one of the three would make a beautiful pen.

(and now while they are looking for the pen blanks.....the clock is ticking away) LOL

 

[ed4copies]

Well, Wayne.
In years past, those blanks have exceeded $500.

It's a different league---I hope we can muster that "donation power" later this month.

Just checked--Constant won it last year at $675. The year before it was Smitty at just over $500.
