Title: Don't be offendedby the bids
Post by: Biggie Hoffman on June 03, 2010, 08:54:00 AM
OK guys and gals...I just placed a bid on every item that had a zero beside it. I don't know how many but it took me two hours to do it. Now EVERYTHING has a price.

Those MKLLC guys try real hard every year to keep me and Sunnyhill away from the cookies. They never succeed but they try.
I think they're all wet myself.....that's why Whip sells those hats 8-)

So are you MKLLC guys gonna let me get all of those neat items (over 50) for $2 a piece?
Let's see what you are made of!!!

I did something similar with a bunch of items but wasn't smart enough to make them $2 dollar bids. I just couldn't stand to see some really cool stuff without a bid. I told myself if I get the ball rolling they'll get the idea that these items really are for the taking and all they have to do is outbid me.......Please! Do!

I may have gotten in over my head but, so be it.
I'll just take out a loan..lol

God bless,Mudd

Good job Biggie - I saw all those bids.  Thought you were stocking up to have a rummage sale to raise money to support your cookie habit.

Better watch out for "Biggie". Before you know it he'll fill up his canoe and be tradin to us Injuns. One shrewed white hunter. Think I'll go have a look see at the auction site.

Saw Biggie in a canoe once- Ever hear of popping a "wheelie" ? It had outriggers too.

(that's funny) I can imagine - even little ol' me will raise a canoe prow up some if I don't balance a load - LOL

I've done that starting bid thing also in previous years but this year Biggie and Sky and a couple others have beat me to it - bless all of your hearts. I'm sure (and hope) none of you will get stuck with something you have no use for. Folks will understand what you are trying to do and help you, help the kids .

He needs to stay away from the pound cake and get back to the cookies!

All kidding aside, Bigge is one of a kind.  :clapper:

I thought you may run short on 2$ pieces so I bid you up on a few. If it took you 2 hours to do all that bidding I might slip by you with one.

Mudd says he's gonna need a loan. Biggie either has a 2 dollar bill tree in his back yard or he's gonna be in line with Mudd.


Good folks here for sure, LOL
