Oh, dear... it's been so long... let's see if I remember how to do these things...

As y'all know, when I took my sabatical from auctioneering, I was teetering on the brink of passing a magic milestone: $5000! If I'm not mistaken, those donations helped Mac pay for Dawnette (the new server, for those of you who weren't around for those 'old server' days). Well... even though Dawnette's paid for, Absolute Write still has expenses, so tonight we'll be firing up the auction machinery for two things: to raise the money to get me over that $5000 goal AND to pass the gavel to our new auctioneer: Soccer Mom!

Without undue ado, here's my final offering:

GiftCard-BassPro200px.JPG

Now... you sportsmen know what's available at Bass Pro... but, ladies! Have you been there? Oh, my. There's a whole cooking section! Iron skillets, recipe books, seasonings, smokers, marinades... it's wonderful!

And clothes, too.

Home decorations. Snacks. Gift items. Camping gear. Fishing equipment. Did I mention clothes?

Here... go look around!

This gift card is worth $250.00!

Yes. You read it right: Two hundred and fifty US dollars.

The auction starts NOW... and it lasts until Friday, May 2, 8pm, Okie time. Our donor will mail the card anywhere the winning bidder wants it mailed.

The opening bid is: $50.00

Yeah... it's a big prize and a big opening bid! But where else could you make a big donation to AW and still get to spend the money at Bass Pro!?

BIDDER UP!

This sounds like a SK thingy.

Since I do not fish, anymore, and eat very little.....I will have to sit back and watch others go nuts with this. It sounds like a really good deal. (Jenna goes fishing? Who would have thunk it? Just more surprises from her.)
And hats off to you SM. You have some mighty big shoes to fill. (Not meaning that OFG has big feet.....sigh)

(Am so excited to see the auctions are back.)

Damn, if we had something other than medusas here--er, jellyfish, I'd give it a go.

I thought the old bag herself was up for auction. I need a Piñata for an upcoming special occasion. I suppose I will have to look elsewhere. Sigh.

Honey, you couldn't afford all the candy it'd take to fill me!

I've got $100 from cray! Who'll make it $105?
