"ABCAuction Session 3 "
Posted by tribephyl on 10-05-05 at 03:25 PM
Welcome folks to the final session of the Auction.

A couple of reminders for those unfamiliar with how it works.

Firstly, No Siggies! The thread gets long and unweildy very quickly, no need to add to the fellow Dial-ups problems.

Second, each prize is run in 3 "rounds".
First I will open the item up for bids.
After a lull of around 5 minutes or so I will post "Going, going" this means the item is still up for bids but is nearing the end.
After that I will post "Gone", where you will find out who won the item and how much it cost. A new item will be put up for bids at that time.

There will be no exchanging of chits, no sharing/switching of prizes (other than the "HeroTwin Bonus" and the "Steal a prize"), no backing out of bids.

Here is a list of the current chit count:
mimo ~ 130
kingfish ~ 130
LookeeLoo ~ 90
smokedog ~ 40
GuessItRains ~ 110
dreamerbeliever ~ 20
tvgeek ~ 45
DearAbby ~ 50
kircon ~ 20
Das Mole ~ 100
MJewel ~ 100
sisyphus ~ 100
Molaholic ~ 95
RudyRules ~ 90
Scarlett O Hara ~ 90
Kermit the Vixen ~ 55
Higgs ~ 90
Kobrien_fan ~ 90
whoami ~ 90
Lolly ~ 24
LibraRising ~ 90
Ontheroadagain ~ 90
alwaysintruble ~ 85
yensid ~ 80
adricharlie ~ 70
MacabreMasquerade ~ 70
JohnMc ~ 70
Rebel Crown ~ 60
coolbluepig ~ 50
Femme ~ 50

Oh and Item #1 is open for bids!

OR should we be refreshing more often?

Still here but I'm for sure cutting it short for today.

This will be the last Item of the day.

Also to everyone who has won a prize. I will make a list of what every prize means in the next ABC entry thread. Look for it.

Thanks Tribe, with the way things are going this season, that bootee pass is golden.

Have a G&T on me, old chap. Ward off the malaria and all that rot.

Thanks again for all your time and effort tribe! I had a great time (when I wasn't disconnected).

Guess I'm glad I didn't get to bet more on that last prize!
