I do not want anyone to misunderstand: when I tried to close the bidding after my bid, one of those BIG METAL things slammed down around my computer, almost smashing my fingers. So I obviously was unable to proceed with my evil plan. So IF YOU MUST, go ahead...make a bid. But don't try any funny stuff. You could loose some fingers.

Don't worry, Steve!!

The quiet money is waiting till tomorrow for the big finale!!

Steve, Check out some other auctions.......YOU are not the only one who tried to get an auction closed while they had the top bid. (Hanging my head and kicking the dirt)

Lucky for everyone we have someone running the auctions whos name is above reproach. Who everyone looks up to. Who shows us how to turn some of the things we get. Who has the answers. Who treats us like the children we are.
(Does eveyone think I have kissed up enough yet?)

Thanks Ed (and Jeff) & all the prize donors for everything they do for the membership.

 

[ed4copies]

Golly, Wayne (he says with a tear in his eye).


So, ya gonna bid tomorrow??!?!?!?!?

 

[Tom T]

Movin on up $420.00. Good thing my wife is not looking.

 

[ed4copies]

Good strategy!!!

Hope everyone is sleeping---you could be "in" for HOURS!!!!


THANK YOU, I'll keep the bid quiet!!​

 

[Tom T]

Thank you. Nothing going on in this auction.

 

[stonepecker]

SLEEPING ?!?!?! The wife found a way to keep me from bidding last night.

"What a great morning!!!":biggrin:

 

[Tom T]

Wayne,
Well you could bid today.
I thought about bidding again.
I hope some really good turner bids more than me.

 

[stonepecker]

I got a few more bids left in me.

But I think I might need a nap before I do anymore bidding.
Also, I am waiting for a few other auctions to start......still have my eye on a few mugs.

And Tom, if you do win these blanks.......I will envy you. Best of luck.

 

[Tom T]

Ed,
I could be in good shape here, looks like every one is laying low.
John added all that stuff and as he said he really does stuff the box full.
I got one of his box's last year it was a home run.
Maybe a great turner will leave my bid in the dust.
After all it is to help the best pen turning organization in the world.

 

[Tom T]

Ed,
Where's the count down to get more bidding.
