2013 auction #1: HO anniversary car----

[Southern Tuxedo]

Mike,

Last night I did a simple search and found out that I am bidding against a successful veteran of these auctions . I see that you won a 40’ box car last year which would be the perfect size for your Penvan railroad . A 50’ car is way too large for your tight radiuses’ but would work well on my TastyBake , which is a modern railroad with a minimum car length of 50’ . I can see how you were confused by the wrong specs that were originally posted about the car, but now that I am bringing it back to your attention I have good news , you can stop bidding and save a few bucks.

Two days left and I’m not letting this big and modern boxcar go for less than $62.50

That's a very impressive argument, but like they say in those TV auction shows, "The person with the most money in their pocket can certainly walk away with this car"... or to put it another way, the person with the highest bid when I show up here on Monday morning, will certainly take this car home....

Keep it going guys, we love your spirit and tenacity.

Mark had his moment of glory. The year of my birth $65.

[Southern Tuxedo]

Getting down to the wire...$66.00

[Mike Kieran]

Get your kicks on 66. I say $67 to your $66.

[Southern Tuxedo]

Hopefully I'll stay alive with $75.00

And I bid $76.

[Mike Kieran]

I wanted a patriotic bid.

[Southern Tuxedo]

I want to be the first to offer Mike a big
congratulations
for a great win!

[Mike Kieran]

Mark you are a worthy opponent and a gracious supporter. I hope to send the car to TastyBake for pictures of it being loaded with goodies for transportation to Regina Distributors on the Penvan Railroad.

Wow, what a bid, and Mike got it in with a minute to spare. Good work and thanks to everyone that bid.... It's all for a good cause.
