Auction #1 - Russ Farfield Bowl

Signed-In Members Don't See This Ad
Good Morning Everybody!!! I slept long enough for now :biggrin: So with coffee in hand let's resume the auction on this beautiful piece of art made by the talented Russ Fairfield. Steve is the current POTENTIAL owner at $350.00 but wants to keep that quiet. So don't tell anybody :biggrin:

There are approximately 11 hours left to get your POTENTIAL ownership of the bowl! We're ready!! :wink::biggrin:

What did you say Chuck?

Steve wants to keep his current bid of $350 a secret?
(I think blue is called the silent color)​

Ok, I won't say a word......my lips are sealed

This is just between you and me

I wanted this bowl really bad but it quickly got out of my price range.:eek:

Whoever wins it will get a piece of history:smile:

I can relate to the Price Range issue :redface::biggrin: It certainly IS a piece of history. I think our bidders so far, get that. They've been awesome. :wink:
 
I want to thank Bob and Chuck and all you others that have helped keep my bid quiet. The result is that I have held "Potential" ownership of the museum piece for about sixteen hours on this round of bidding (as of this post). I have six hours banked from my earlier bid yesterday. That is twenty two hours and counting! I am feeling good about this, and sense that I have chased off all other contenders. The 'stealth' approach has helped too. This bowl is MINE...I can feel it! Anyone contemplating a higher bid should think twice! You just never know what might happen if you were to take that foolish step! :eek::tongue:



Have a nice day! :rolleyes:

Well, shoot, that number hasn't changed in a while...since I said I'd put some nice wood in the package, how about I kick in a high end kit to make with it...The huang huali looks great on a 22k Imperial kit...how's that sound?

Jon, you're amazing. (I already knew that) Thank you for adding sugar to an already sweetened pie! :wink:
 
Thank you Tom!!!!! We are at $375. Who is going to take us over the top to $400 ?? Does the bowl get to go to Hawaii? Or does it stay on the east coast? Only YOU can decide~

Let's see....walk out on some barren patch of frozen water, dangle a string thru a hole cut in ice, sit there and freeze my a$$ off for hours and catch 1 fish - maybe, then clean it and cook it myself....Or.... drive over to the restaurant, sit on a comfy warm seat and have someone bring it to me. Uh, yeah....sign me up :confused:
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are coming down to the final 3 hours on this magnificent piece of art by Russ Fairfield

along with the added bonus of an Imperial pen kit donated by Jon - who also donated the bowl to begin with.

Currently Tom is the high bidder at $375.

Who will bid us up to that magical mark of $400 ?? ​
 
One hour to go!! You still have time to be the POTENTIAL owner of the Russ Fairfield bowl along with some awesome wood blanks AND a 22K Imperial pen set furnished by Jon Piper :wink:
 
Steve, you may have just broke that poor bowls heart. It was counting on spending the winter in Hawaii.

Tom is still high bidder at $375 with 40 minutes to go~.​
