We had a very successful coffee mug auction a while back and we didn’t think we could top that, but we’re hoping that we have done just that. We have another anniversary mug to auction off, but this one is different, it not only has our fifth anniversary logo on it, but it has been signed by the two owner/admins of Big Blue, ngauger and ezdays. 
Yeah, I know, no biggie, what’s the fuss, who really cares? 
Still, it is unique and we’re hoping that by signing this mug, we haven’t diminished its value. :o
So, as it goes, we have a “Fifth Anniversary” coffee mug to auction off with two signatures on the sides, as shown in the photos below. The signatures have been clear-coated, but it is not recommended that the mug be used as anything but a display piece since repeated use may cause the signatures to rub off. On the other hand, the winning bidder may just want it that way.
Yes, you can remove the signatures with rubbing alcohol if you prefer; that's your choice, we won’t be offended if you do. 
Here are the rules:
Remember, 100% of the proceeds from this auction is to help keep Big Blue running, so we are depending on you for your support and hope to give something back to you like this in return.
