Last Day of the Auction - Page 2

Conch Republican · 05-30-2012, 12:28 PM

I am with Scotty - I will probably be outbid on everything - I am sure some people will be sniping and I wont be able to...but hey, I can say I went all in.

The GOOD News (no I am not handing out pamphlets)

is that any money I dont spend for our troops here will go to the Rochester Charity Herf we are doing on Saturday!

PS - you are all invited!!

A few thoughts as to why it may be smaller than the first.

1. It's not the first. The first one was brand new and exciting.
2. There is another large auction one month from today many will be participating in. I know I have a certain amount to spend total and what I spend on this auction would come out of the one in a month. This wasn't a problem in the last one (for me). I've still bid a little and monitoring some, but more OK missing out on a lot with another coming up. For me it was easier to donate a lot than spend money this time around.
3. Some may miss the forum. May be stretching here, but it was always there and stagnant for months, I had trained my eye to ignore it during the off months.

Just a few random ramblings....

There should be a new item showing up in the auction that may be of interest to many here. Not a cigar.

Is there a way to know when these auctions are coming up? Like a calendar of events or something?

Yeah there was the comment of another coming in a month. Perhaps the cryptic message here is "not for you"

Whoever made such a statement is grossly misinformed.

Semi-Annual. May and November. There are no others here at CA.

There will be an auction at the SoCal herf, but it isn't for the troops and isn't associated with CA.

SoCal is the last weekend of June (this year).

I'll sure vouch for the fact that it's SLOW AS HELL round here lately.

MarkinAZ · 05-30-2012, 01:22 PM

It should be fairly interesting come around 17:59 hrs Brad

OLS · 05-30-2012, 04:53 PM

FYI for those who are time-zone challenged, auction ends at 8pm Central Time, 9pm Eastern time.

Going to grab dinner then get into my ghillie suit

keith_mahoney · 05-30-2012, 05:36 PM

What is it that gets you into the trading area?

Post count? I don't like to talk much and prefer to sit back and listen (read) to everyone else.

Trades? I doubt anyone wants any of the cheap cigars I smoke.

Time? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

A super secret recipe containing all of the above ingredients. The key is to stick around and participate. The doors will open.

markem · 05-30-2012, 06:51 PM

I plan to win two lots. Wonder if anyone can correctly identify them both before the end of the auction (in 9 minutes)

Kiss my ass apoco! JK You deserved it. I'm just a sore loser.

Doesn't matter, point of it all is to raise money, and that's what we did! Props to everyone that was involved. Thank you to Peter and the rest of mods that made this all possible.
