Also, If winning bidder did not partake in free US500 poster giveaway, Ill gladly throw in a bunch of those, as well as some of the Bettenhausen posters, and a Dominguez poster. (or , even if you did partake, but just want more!)

the URL isn't right, takes me to a log in page

But this sounds like a wonderful thing to do Justin. :thumbup:

Fix the URL and let us check it out.

[Paintergeek]

Thats cause the auction doesnt start til tomorrow.

Item number is 5205775597. If the link doesnt work, just go to www.ebay.com and enter that number in the front page search box. Its a super cool poster.

[mapguy]

Nope, still doesn't work.

[Paintergeek]

IT HASNT STARTED YET!!!

It is a scheduled auction that will start midday monday!! Until then, you wont be able to see it! I didnt want it to end on a sunday, so I scheduled the start for tomorrow, and posted the link here today so people tomorrow will be able to check it out.

[RaceGrrl]

Justin, do you want us to host the pic so that you can post it in this thread?

[SteveH]

Nope, still doesn't work.


Yeah, Mapguy's right, it still doesn't work.

Nice poster, but why start the bidding at one cent? I never understood that... with no reserve aren't you screwed if you don't get a lot of bids on it?

Someone will pay more than $0.01 ;)

[Methanolandbrats]

Someone will pay more than $0.01 ;) So you're the one in there swinging the big lumber already :D

[RaceGrrl]

I KNOW that someone will pay more than one cent, but I never start my items at much less than I really want for them. Just curious. I don't auction items with a reserve amount, but I wouldn't want to start an auction at one penny and trust that I'm not going to lose on the deal.

[Paintergeek]

Nice poster, but why start the bidding at one cent? I never understood that... with no reserve aren't you screwed if you don't get a lot of bids on it?

Well, I rarely do the one penny thing. But in this case, All I needed was a dollar or two to make it worth my fees.If I didnt advertise it here, and was looking for profit, I would have started higher. But I knew my homies here would bid well, espeically for the charitable contribution they will be making. Its already up to $14 in 12 hours, which is more than I hoped for, but not unexpected for the cause............

Good luck all. Bid early, bid often!

[Ziggy]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, racegrrl, what items do you have to sell???

Sorry, I don't have any XXL bellydance costumes, and I don't usually carry them in yellow.

[Paintergeek]

Nice to see that three of the bidders so far are smellyfasnairus69, assbandit2004, and quiefmama :saywhat:

Bidding looks real nice. I will donate shipping if the winner is from OC forums, so take that into affect on your bid amount.

Thanks so much. Less than 24 hours in and its higher than I thought it would end.

[Methanolandbrats]

Drunken bidding :thumbup:
