Rob, they mentioned there would be no sniping. Do you have anyone hiding in the background in case they pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat?   :clapper:

No sniping plans in place.  But there is still time to jump on the bandwagon!

You cut that one oh so close Michael! Missed it by a matter of seconds....

What a hoot!  And what a great contribution to St. Jude.  My bid will be included with my payment to Doug - it was well worth the price of admission just to participate!

Myhundred is still getting thrown in the pot also. I'll consider it a penalty fine for all the bad things I said about Biggie, Mike & Jeff  :D

Guy's, y'all are all awesome!  :notworthy:

Thanks for making this year's 'War' the bestest yet!

It goes without saying what all of you guys did for the kids but I can't thank you enough for making such a memorable/teachable/special moment for my daughter.  No way to repay you guys for that.  The look on her face when I woke her up that first morning and told her cakes for the kids had raised $300 was impossible to describe.  The only time I'd ever seen that much amazement in her face was when she was about 10 months old and saw her first lighted Christmas tree in our house.  A look you never forget.... Hopefully I can shake every bidders hand some day at least.

You were a huge part of it Riz, and your ongoing cajoling kept it lively.  Sorry you missed the grand finale - it was something to see!
Thanks for all your help!

Same here, I've never participated in the auction, but its infecting me.  I'm out of town and by the time I tell my wife we're making a contribution, its over.  I'm still going to get involved.  Its not just this thread, but what Whip wrote in an earlier post about Tradgang getting "too big".  Very few "sports" have what "we" have here.  Sometimes, peer pressure is a good thing.

I am so very proud of all of you. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy but the tears are trying to get in my way here typing.

I Love You Brothers and Sisters. You give so much of yourselves. This time it just happened to be money but most of the time its your hearts and love you give!

God bless each and every one of you!

Charles played for both teams!  First he put us over the top.  Then he partnered with Michael to top us.  Then he put us back on top again.  So fast and furious it was hard to keep up.

Michael's last second bid vaulted them over us (I think  :confused:  )  and my slow fingers missed the deadline by a heartbeat or two.

Whip. I am responsible for the confusion. I inadvertently typed Charles instead of Jeff on the 4k bid.

Ah, now I understand.  Easy to happen in the heat of the battle.  I can see where Charles sure had you rattled!  He's an MK Pound Cake hero  :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:
