$153

Lets recap, what exactly is included at this point?

154

When does this madness end???

What's included is always updated on the first post of this thread.

Bottom line: A BIT MORE THAN WHAT WE STARTED WITH!

Or, if there has been a lull of 24 consecutive hours from last bid.

Whichever comes sooner.

I should had penny bid increments... :laughs:

$155.00

156, I think you are limiting the price by having small increments...imagine if it was a $20 increment where would we be now? GOING UP!

Patience, Sandman-san. :hihi:

$157.00...mine mine mine!

158 I've got to get some work done....I will check back once per day and again at 4:55 on the 15th.

Go to work Sandman...$159.00

Been almost 20 minutes without a bid...did I win???:happy: :happy: :happy:

No! $160 :laughs:

$161.00....don't you hate me Mr. Sandman?

$162 not at all, let increase the bid increment by 20

145 + 3 +5 +6+3
Hi yall Im mush mouse

$164

fishing started as a poor mans sport
then came the internet :smash:

166...

I know that the plug donation thingy is going on, Steve is donating 2 of his...

I wanna donate one of mine, I paint them too..I just made a christmas plug to hang on the tree...

Can I throw one of those in there too?

I can wire it with hooks or not?


I decorate our tree with lures:D i know corney:laughs:

This is getting better all the time.

Just wanted to say I participated too :hihi:

ill throw in one of my pencil type thingys.:)

wins lol:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :laughs: Im so grateful to John R and his site here for letting me sell.advertise, post a million goofey pics that Im throwing in a STRADIC 6000 with a lami rod to go with all these plugs bought this year and probably wont be used for the next five so lets get bidding over 200.00 value.

$171.00....mine...all mine!:drool:

171

172

$173.00....mine, mine....mine I tell you!:drool:

174

$175.00.....MINE!:drool:

I see a problem comming a few minutes to 5:00 when the bidding gets really crazy trying to determine who got the winning bid at 4:59:59. Again,you should consider a min. bid of 1.00 but no max bid to get the most for this. The current approach will get you the most posts not the most cash.

n+1

this is getting insane:
Mr. Macy...throw in the boat!! after all you need a boat to go with the rod, reel and plugs right? :laughs:

Hello Weewee,

What a great idea you got there pal!! Consider us in, we will donate one AquaSkinz Premium Neoprene Pull Over Dry Top - The Hurricane - or One lightweight Evolution but please be advised the Evolution is only available in sizes S/M & Large. (we are currently sold out of the other sizes in the Evolution....sorry.)

We will also throw in for good meassure a AquaSkinz Hat & T-Shirt!

Let's go boys & girls, this is a great cause and let's keep those bids coming.

Happy Holiday's Everybody!!!

Kadir

:D BIG Thanks to Kadir & Alberto! - We'll be splitting the Skinz auction off to this thread: http://www.striped-bass.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11380

oh my god...251! lets roll

252

253

254....the BM Fat Danny is worth this by itself....

255, It is hard to put a value on the plugs as they are artwork. But the aquaskinz jacket is 200+ easy retail. we need to up this 1 buck bid limit...the auction items are expanding FASTER then the bid can keep up.

256

600 If that is not acceptable then 257

Kadir - thank you. I've moved this over to a separate auction.

We're gonna need a bigger plug bag. :laughs:

258

Auctioneer's prerogative.

:bshake:

$259

$260

261

262

Okay, the prize pot has gotten a LOT bigger (thanks guys) and the bidding might go higher.

So at this point, I think it would be reasonable for joint bidding. If some members want to pool their resources and bid together, that is cool with me.

It's not a change of the rules per se, but, er, an enhancement of them. :hihi:

-WW

p.s. and please, no Van Staal reel donations. :laughs:

Donation time.

Throwing in a blue Lex Lures Danny swimmer.

Send me coordinates where I can beam this plug to.

:rude:

they should tighten up the immigration laws around here :bshake:

Just asuggestion but maybe if the prize pool has gotten too big you should auction some items seperately?

your outta my leauge
wish i was a guppy :smash:
hows a poor sport gonna compeate:(

...for those that don't know, >>> there's an "edit" option at the bottom of each reply. Instead of re-submitting a bid when you realize that someone has already bid that amount, just edit your previous bid. :smash:

heck...it's only money. It's not like a 50 pound bass or anything sacred..

OKAY SEPARATE AUCTION FOR THE AQUA-SKINZ...

Answer: yes, there's an updated list of everything on the first AND second posts of this thread.

-WW

Last bid was $274.

Do I hear $275?

Sorry FishWeeWee...all emptied out! Did I win yet????:drool:

275
The item(s) to be auctioned need to be static from now on you can't keep adding and taking away from what is being bid upon. Technically we should probably start this whole thing over and post it on ebay and open it to the world..get top dollar and you will not have to manage the auction, not to mention JR is already set up as a player on ebay.

$276.00....Mine:drool:

278

SO, Is the LIST STATIC now or will it change further?

Well, it certainly could change...I wouldn't rule out a few more plug additions, but at this point it should be fairly firm.

Really what makes this worth more than the price of all the merchandise is the fact that everyone here likes the John, the site and the on the BB boards.
