Pânts and Jillyb are quietly nudging each other higher on this still very affordable number from the early days of the Ship's software. Will they keep matching each other dollar for dollar, or will someone swoop in, up the ante, and make them wish they could dial 999 for help?

The Almighty Dollar is unfortunately not Monopoly money, though with the current exchange rates it's getting close.

Step right up, folks, this number hasn't budged in over 24 hours. You get a cool member number, the Ship gets operating funds, and everybody wins.

<hammer falls>

The winning bid on this thread was for $101 by Pânts. You can make your payment on this page...

http://shipoffools.com/Products/auctions/cc_payment.html

Please note your Lot number (14) as you'll need to enter it into the payment form. Thanks for supporting the ship! If you wish to transfer your board identity to this number, please post on the Winners! thread and we'll arrange your move in the next seven days.

And thanks to everyone else who took part in bidding on this thread. If you'd like to give to the Organ Fund anyway, here's the link...

Thanks!
