Ladies, gents... would someone like to get us going on Lot 6? A slice of British history and one of the most famous of dates, of course. We start the bidding at $15. Do I hear $15...?

Calling all non-Brits: Britain hasn't been successfully invaded since 1066. It's time to do it again--look at how well it turned out last time!

Can I get $66 for 1066?

ETA: Non-bid post removed. Please re-post in the Peanut Gallery! Only the Auctioneer is allowed to post non-bid posts on the bidding threads. Thank you for your cooperation.

Spiffy has been sitting on #1066 at $66 for just over 36 hours. Time for this one to move up a bit! Please consider what 1066 means to you, or better yet what the Ship means to you, and consider making a bid. Remember, a winning bid is a donation to the Ship.

Thank you, Glimmer--we promise you that #1066 will never stay out too late in the company of dodgy friends or borrow your car and smash it up. [Smile]

<hammer falls>

The winning bid on this thread was for $68 by Bonaventura (the $75 bid by Amazing Grace was made at 12.01, just after the auction closed). You can make your payment on this page, Bonaventura...

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

Please note your Lot number (6) 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...

http://shipoffools.com/Organ/options.html

Thanks!
