He**, I had to open a new account. I made them bid 400 pounds...don't know if I can get back in or not. It was just under 500 by the time I got back after being outbid.

Brad, your generosity is as great as your pen making.

Thanks for the accolades, though the generosity lays with the bidders.

£480.00 ($723.00) with only 5 days of bidding left. I can see it sitting there for a while no doubt, but that's fantastic to see. Thanks to everyone who has bid. 
Well, the current bid knocked me out I'm afraid. And even though it's for a great cause, I won't do any shill bidding.
Hopefully some folks with much deeper pockets will get it past the $1000 mark. :biggrin:

Just a little bump for this beautiful pen and good cause.
Don't let it go this easily!
Brad is this the only one of this design?

you're more than welcome. Wish i could do more though great to see how many people have chipped in over there.
As it stands it is Jeff, though i may make another one to replenish the slot in my collection, though perhaps with an egyptian god etched in, in place of the Ankh as i like the concept of no two being the same. I think it would be nice to do one for each god, for a full set

Only 20 hours left on this auction! I dare you to nudge it up a little if you can afford it

I would love to have that pen in my collection---but unfortunately I have some large purchases coming due and just don't have the cash available to go higher.

Thats quite alright smitty. It is quite an impressive sum as it is
One more shot
I gave it one more shot - maybe some oil baron will see it and like it enough to take it away from me. BTW as much as I like the pen, I would not have bid except for the generosity of the maker to donate all of the proceeds to folks who need help in Oklahoma. My hat is off to him (squint or be blinded by the glare from my head). The former high bidder has kindly offered to share the cost of this with me as his donation to the cause. I won't mention his name but you all know him well. He's a good man.

Nice going Brad & Smitty. I am not at all surprised at your display of concern for the folks in Oklahoma. This is good.
I was the winner and I want to thank Brad for donating the pen - the cause is worthy and all the money will go to help our neighbors in Oklahoma. I spent more than I would have sent directly so it's a win for me and a win for Oklahoma.
After getting 3 perfectly good credit cards rejected (I have no Idea why unless they won't allow that much on international payments or because they wouldn't convert to British money) I did manage to get it paid for - I thought for a while that I was going to have to go to England to pick it up.
I'm looking forward to having this pen in my collection. I'm sure no one else will have one like it. BTW for those such as myself who are not conversant in British money it raised $758.67 for the Oklahoma Victims.

Thanks for bidding Smitty :wink: Your generosity is to be admired, and I'm sure the amount will be of great benefit. Thanks to everyone else which has looked in on this auction too.
Il have the pen on its way to you over the next couple of days, il let you know when its shipped along with the tracking number etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if your CC companies were trying to protect your card from fraud. quite an amount to be paying overseas I guess

LeRoy, we Okies thank you from the bottom of our hearts, most of us knew someone or at least knew someone who did that was affected by one of the tornado's. We were very lucky in that all we had was debris that was blown off of our self pruning pecan tree but had friends that weren't and had lost their homes.

So awesome, though I wasn't able to get it I was inspired to spend the money I would have sent on to the Red Cross. Be proud!
That seems to have been the case...I got an email from one of them that they had refused the card and asked if I had initiated the payment. I think the ebay credit card processor (paypal) rejected the other two because the first one was refused.Thanks for bidding Smitty :wink: Your generosity is to be admired, and I'm sure the amount will be of great benefit.
