Howdy Y'all,

    The last of the group offers died today.  All games are now competed
for on an individual basis.

>    I have also found time to place some bids of my own on some of these
>games.  They're just ordinary bids, nothing special about them.  

>>    I would like to stress that there will be no advantage to waiting
>>till the last minute to make bids.  Any and all previous bidders on a
>>game will be allowed to respond to any last minute bid.  The only thing
>>last minute bidding will accomplish is to drag things out, causing them
>>to finish later than otherwise.

>>    Payment may be made in US dollars by money order or cashiers check.

>>>    I expect mailing costs to be $3 per boxed game, $2 per magazine
>>>(with or without game), $2 per bagged game in a mailing box (9x12), and
>>>$1.50 per bagged game.  If you want counter trays, they can be added for
>>>$2.25 ea, and mailing boxes (again, 9x12 with a lid) are $0.75 ea.

>>>>    I cannot guarantee that all the counters are in those games that
>>>>have at least some of the counters punched.  I can say that the games
>>>>look as though they have been well cared for.  Virtually all games have
>>>>several blank counters in case something should turn up missing.  At
>>>>some future point, I can check some of the bagged games for counter
>>>>numbers, since most rules list how many counters should be present.  One
>>>>game (I can't remember which) has 1 blank counter that has been used
>>>>(written on) apparently to replace a missing counter.

>>>>>New bids are welcome until the 20th of November at which time the
>>>>>auction will close to new bids.  

>>>>>    Existing bids may be continue to be updated until all but one person
>>>>>has dropped out.  If there is no update on a game for 72 hours (after
>>>>>the closing to new bids), that game will be closed out and considered
>>>>>closed to the high bidder.

>>>>>    Please keep all bids to whole dollar bids only.  If I receive any
>>>>>bid with a fractional amount, the fractional amount will be truncated,
>>>>>and the bid will be treated as the whole dollar bid only.  

>>>>>    When I list the condition of a game, I am using the following
>>>>>conventions:
 
>>>>>    mint:              mint
>>>>>    exc:               excellent
>>>>>    cond:              condition
>>>>>    mostly punched:    much more than 50% of the counters have been
>>>>>       (mp)               punched, a fair number remain unpunched
>>>>>    partly punched:    Approximately 50% of the counters have been
>>>>>       (pp)               punched
>>>>>    mostly unpunched:  Much less than 50% of the counters have been
>>>>>       (mup)           punched
>>>>>    (c)                prev. bid has been conf. (after Nov 5 1:00 PM EST)
>>>>>    (n)                new bid since Nov 5 1:00 PM EST

>>>>>Have fun!
