I'll pin my first bid up at $30.

$40 [Smile]

Posted by IngoB (# 8700) on :

$60

If I get the number, I will claim it for the Counter-Reformation and call myself Paul III with a "Council of Trent" avatar - or something like that. Try and outbid me, you heretic Lutheran weaklings... [Razz]

Posted by Flausa (# 3466) on :

Just for that IngoB, $70.

Posted by IngoB (# 8700) on :

$80 say Exsurge Domine had it right all along. [Cool]

Posted by Flausa (# 3466) on :

Well, you leave me no choice.

I nail my bid for $95 on IngoB's forehead.

Posted by IngoB (# 8700) on :

$100 then to Inquisitor Fr Dr Johann Tetzel, OP, to buy the indulgence that finally gets Martin Luther out of purgatory! It will buy a golden candle stand for Gian Lorenzo Bernini's The Triumph of the Chair of Saint Peter at St Peter's Basilica... [Two face]

Posted by Flausa (# 3466) on :

Nails another $10 on BIngo's head, bringing the bid up to $110.

Posted by Gort (# 6855) on :

Tightly rolls up $120, sets it on fire and lights his cigar with it.

Posted by Flausa (# 3466) on :

$121

Posted by JonathanHunt (# 9495) on :

If only the number 1689 was going...

And the newbie comes out of nowhere! Good going!
