Re: 2013 auction #2: N scale PBS “Tracks Ahead” gondola--- - ezdays - 05-13-2013 We have an anonymous telephone bidder, probably some big international movie star or sports jock that wants to add to their collection without bringing attention to themselves. We are sworn to secrecy, and so "Anonymous #1's" opening bid is $5.00 Re: 2013 auction #2: N scale PBS “Tracks Ahead” gondola--- - Tyson Rayles - 05-13-2013 I'll go $6.00 Re: 2013 auction #2: N scale PBS “Tracks Ahead” gondola--- - ezdays - 05-14-2013 Anonymous #1 has authorized a bid of $7.50 Re: 2013 auction #2: N scale PBS “Tracks Ahead” gondola--- - Tyson Rayles - 05-14-2013 $8.00 Re: 2013 auction #2: N scale PBS “Tracks Ahead” gondola--- - teejay - 05-14-2013 Um, $9.00 ...I'll use it for my "forced perspective" near the background twin towers with the N scale staircase T Re: 2013 auction #2: N scale PBS “Tracks Ahead” gondola--- - ezdays - 05-15-2013 Not to push any, but I'm authorized to go to $10 by anonymous #1.
