Nice to meet you ancestral old guys, Smitty. Not a bad family line. 
I actually came on here to step on those scrawny little toe/claw/flippers of that 'guin guy, who must be off eatin' some raw fish or something.
How about $450 to keep things rollin'?

I sat down on my couch again last night and found another Emperor sized blank to go with the first two. So bonuses now include:
1 Jr Gent Blue Abalone
1 Emperor sized Natural Abalone
Free turning of one pen if Smitty wins.
I am not done cleaning out between the cushions of my couch yet. I might find more.
Happy bidding!

A great day for 5's!
$555
Now to do this, with a stack of six Franklins, I grabbed the top one and cut it off just a little over half (I think I may have shaved off a little of ol' Ben's flowing hair!). But anyhow, the bid is in. Take note water-bird. :tongue:

It's now $55 past my wife's Mini Cooper payment due on the 26th which also is our 50th anniversary think if I want to see 51 I better let this pass.

Hmm. Tempted to keep playing, but my name's not Smitty... Anyone know the requirements for legally changing one's name?

ok ok. I can include those not named Smitty with the turning if wanted. I will just need the kit supplied.
Seems like this stalled a bit? How about another Emperor sized blank?
So bonuses are:
1 Jr Gent Blue Abalone
2 Emperor sized natural abalone
Free turning of one pen if wanted (you supply the kit)
Happy bidding!

Ron has made this deal a lot sweeter!
You now get 1 Jr. Gent Blue Abalone
2 Emperor sized Natural Abalone
And free turning of one pen if YOU supply the kit.
How about it?

Only 1? But what will you use after your wife takes the first couple for herself and her friends?
Your purpose in life is to keep her happy~
Ah Ha! I just figured it out.....since it's only 3:30 in the afternoon over there in Hawaii, Steve is just laying low and waiting for all of you to go to bed then he's going to swoop in and nab him some Abalone.
And you all thought I wasn't that smart.....~ fooled you!

There's a flaw in that logic... I don't sleep.

Bob...the other flaw: I am ALREADY holding the winning bid. :biggrin::biggrin:
Still a day to go......as they say in the opera, it ain't over 'til the skinny lady sings.

HOW could it get BETTER, you ask??
Well, you HAVE beautiful blanks, but Dawn noticed you need a pen KIT. So, she would like to add a kit (or kits) valued to $80. from ExoticBlanks. Winner can choose any kit we have in stock (more Dayacom kits are leaving Taiwan today).
SOOOOOOOoooooooooo, NOW you have a complete Emperor, if that is the winner's choice! Turned by Ron (if you are Smitty), or you could make a great Venus from the Jr. Gent blanks!!!
Ron and the auctioneers have been warned about this post, so let's get back to the action!!

Like I said, it just keeps getting better. Must be all of that charm from Chuck that is making people fight to add more and more to this auction. Who can resist him, huh? Maybe we should include him in the kitty!
Thank you Ed and Dawn!
We know $600 is waiting out there, don't be shy folks!

And why in your wildest imagination would you ever believe that my bride of nearly 54 years needs "things" to keep her happy.
Good Night Everyone
Thank you to all of our folks who have been so generous with their donations, to the bidders who have been just as generous with their support of the IAP and to our spectators who add so much to the fun.
Steve is the current high bidder at $555...are these blanks heading to Hawaii?
Gonna' call it a night....everyone feel free to keep bidding and we will pick this up again in the morning.
Good night~

Thank you. I wouldn't have said anything but "things" I could give her have never been important to her. Heck, she would never even spend a night away from home without me (Hospital stays after babies were born excepted) until after we'd been married over 20 years. Not even to visit her mother who only lived 2 hours away.

54 years is awesome BTW Smitty!!!
Long enough that I barely remember being single and I often think she doesn't remember that at all.
Well Good night.....and old DEEP POCKETS GUZY that he can relax now for awhile. But just to make him happy $599.99

ok. This is probably my last addition to the lot. It looks like we are heavy on Emperor kits. So I am going to add 1 Jr Aaron sized Natural blank and 1 sierra.
To sum up the bonuses:
1 Jr Gent blue abalone
2 Emperor Natural Abalone
1 Jr Aaron Natural Abalone
1 Sierra
...And 1 turned pen by me if wanted (You supply the kit).
Don't forget the awesome offer from Exotic Blanks as well.
Happy bidding!
