Lot 13... and a fabulous item which has never been used. Now, who would like to open the bidding war for us? A heavenly number and a heavenly starting price to match: $10. Do I hear $10...?

I wonder how lucky all these 7's can be since they ended up as Lot No.13
All the same I think they are still worth $35

Posted by Fool of a Took (# 7412) on :

I think of 13 as a lucky number- making this worth at least $40

Numerological perfection going cheap here! 777 is the number of God, according to numerology. It's also the number of a big honkin' plane from Boeing.

Who'll make it $60? Or do I hear $77?

Remember, it's all for the Ship!

Let him get stew, Coot... auctioneer is nowhere near as anxious as Mr. Took at this point.

Thanks! (The Auctioneer is experiencing enough stress deciphering the equations on the Peanut Gallery thread.)

Fool of a Took, surely Mr. Took has at one time or another made some silly purchase costing well in excess of US$72. Perhaps this is the time to remind him of that? [Biased]

Fine.

$77 then.

$80

Posted by Auctioneer (# 12) on :

$80 is Not Too Bad at all, but perhaps someone will be $85 for this fine number. Do I hear $85?
