Would someone like to open the bidding for Lot 2? An exquisite little membership number, perfect for the arriviste or the long-established board member alike. We start the bidding at $30. Do I hear $30...?

Posted by Pyx_e (# 57) on :

Oh go on then. 24 is my "lucky" number and someone has to be humiliated into not affording to be able to keep up, don't feel bad.

It's a lower number than Siegfried's.

$150.00

Posted by Auctioneer (# 12) on :

Somebody make Sine really earn this number, please! We all know he's just going to blow his money on clothes if the Ship doesn't get it.

Do I hear $175?

Posted by Amazing Grace (# 4754) on :

No, but you'll hear $155. [Big Grin]

It's way too early in the process for me to jump $25!

I just can't resist these sad-eyed kittens at the bottom of the pile...

$160

Posted by Sine Nomine (# 3631) on :

Will you feel half your age if your membership number is? Stick with 98. You can grow into it over time. Besides you inherited it, remember?

$165.00

I'm not playing games. Yet.

As I already pointed out, I'm just having fun risking some of my son's college tuition money.

Look at her response, Sine. "Risking" her son's tuition! There's no risking here. She makes it sound as if she's speculating return on investment. I'm telling you there is something fishy going on. Beware jlg, inc.™

$166

Half my age isn't available, sweetcakes. Is this one perhaps yours?

*beep*!!!

*mumble* *mumble*

... oh crud, I need to come up with an extra dollar if I want to post ... "Excuse me! -- Yes, you! -- What was the latest bid? Oh, Ok, thanks..."

You see? The flippant, cavalier tossing of dollars?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

$169

I knew there was a reason I didn't give that homeless man any money after church last night. He didn't really look that hungry...

$170.00

Posted by Demas (# 7147) on :

I have scraped my cupboard bare, and my elderly grandfather will not be getting a Christmas present this year.

I intend to buy this number, then lose interest in the Ship and never post again [Snigger]

Posted by Demas (# 7147) on :

Oh no you don't.

$210

Posted by Auctioneer (# 12) on :

And #24 is on the move! Not that much time left ... consider your strategy, your pocketbook, and what you can give to the Ship. We very much appreciate it.

Posted by iGeek. (# 3207) on :

$224

Posted by Demas (# 7147) on :

This'll be my last bid, because I have to be somewhere else important.

$250

If you top it, it's yours.
