Let's not let Mr. Rat get too comfortable with his bid! This beautiful pen AND a $250.00 credit at the Classic Nib is quite a package! Are you really going to let Skippy steal this pen for what amounts to $5.00? Don't wait! Cast a bid!
Hey Mike!! You make it sound like I'm the Bad Guy here!! 
I may be a rat, but I have feelings ya know!!!

Quite the contrary. I'm pointing out that you seem to be the only one willing to act on this fantastic offer. :biggrin: It's like getting a $250.00 rebate because we all know that any one of us will blow through $250.00 on pen supplies without blinking an eye. :wink: I would think that there would be more of a response to this.
Maybe everyone is waiting until the auction is about to end to place their bid.
Shhh Mike !! And stop bumping the thread or others may see this great deal for an even greater cause!!!:tongue::biggrin:

I promised I wouldn't bump it.
I always knew that you were a man of his word, Mike!!:biggrin:
Bumping the thread is fine, but someone will have to actually bid past my top bid to knock me off my perch. :wink:
I can't afford to bid higher than my top bid, ( less than it's worth, BTW ) so lets see who really wants it.
Or are you all just mouth???:tongue::yawn:
I figure it's worth atleast $500.00, but only time will tell:biggrin:

Skip you are right that it is worth more than it is sitting at ... for the moment ... and I would make you pay more but I wont bid what I can not afford to spend (even if I have to spend a month in the doghouse)
There has to be someone with deeper pockets than mine that can give our friendly neighborhood rat a run for his money.

While I would love to swoop in and steal it from Skippy, I can't bid higher even with the Gift card as I don't have the funds to pay for the combo.
Dang those Granite Countertops

Smitty is not a wealthy man and I did buy the last one....you guys all have my blessings for this one and my sincere wish is that it does at least as well as the one I won.
Good luck and God Speed.
Here, there has to be a connection between the seller and the bidder - just throwing in a bid when you don't want to win, isn't a shill bid but might make a lot of folks unhappy if you do win and then don't pay.
RFLMAO!!!! :biggrin:
I must be getting old!!! I switched from my Kindle Ebay account to my laptop account and managed to outbid myself!!!
Of course, big big thanks to the CC gang and Roy!!!
That is called a 'shill' bid -----
Well if Skippy is the high bidder he seems to be serious. I might come back in later if I have lots of sales in the next two or three days.

Well it is good to see some more bids for the pen. Wish I could bring it home but it will not happen this time.
Oh oh Skiprat might not be to happy ... the thread seems to keep getting bumped : )

Referrering to yourself in both first and third person in a sentence that short... Thats quite the feat!!!
Well I tried, but have been outbid :frown:
The bad news is that I won't be getting this great pen and of course Roy's wonderful addition, but the fantastic news is that the charity will be getting more than I can afford.
Well done to who ever it was that outbid me, but I expect you will need to bid again before this auction is over.

Perhaps my wife 'penned' that sentence. OOPS another bump.

Skiprat is right, the funds being raised is the important part ..... but who is the mystery bidder??????
Lets hope it breaks the $500 mark and helps those in need.

With less than two hours left in the auction, I may be getting this, if so, first item to purchase will be one of the "stained glass" boxes to hold it in.
