Gift certificates can only be used for online catalog purchases only.



Bidding closes at 6:00am PST the day of each auction.

DO we place our bids here? Sounds like this will be fun.

 

[CougarCJ]

Please PM or eMail me.

So the point is to guess the final sale price at auction? If so, why wouldn't people just box in other's guesses? Might want to have it be a silent fantasy auction via pm. Sounds like fun though, cool idea.

373.1 - '73 Vert $XXXXXX

BTW, the interior of that car is not correct. No white seats/trim panels with Ginger dash, console, carpet. White interior cars have BLACK dash, console, carpet. Either that, or a previous owner got white parts to replace the cracked Ginger upholstery/door panels. Need door tag info to see which is which...

 

[benchseat67]

I sent my bids in a PM to you. Is that OK?

 

[Cougrrcj]

I agree that a 'sealed bid' auction would be better to avoid the $XXXXX+1 - type sniping bids. My guestimate is being PM'd

Very good point..and the Price-is-Right 1$ bids


This could get to be a clusterscrew..but it'll be fun!

This sounds like fun! I don't need the gift certificate because unfortunately I don't have my 70 anymore, but it will be fun to play anyway. I'm on lunch. Will think of estimates after work tonight.

We have T-Shirts and key chains, or you could give it to a needy Cougar owner. Set up a Cougar parts scholarship for a youngster.

Milo, do you care to bid on more than one cat?

 

[CougarCJ]

Keep those guesstimates coming. I have 5 so far. PM me.

How does the group want to handle tie bids? None yet, so far though.

 

[Smith Brother]

The date and time submitted will break the tie, if such occurs.

I mean on the guesses. Tell them to guess again, that number is taken?

 

[CollinsCougar]

I kind of agree with Dale - the first person in should get priority on the amount. If you have them guess again, would anyone come back with a number too far off from the originally submitted guess - I think not... I say, if you get two bids of the same amount, bump the secondary people in $500 increments until they land in an open amount...

I'm curious as to why the values of the prizes differ between the 5 contestants. I'm only watching to see that 69 Custom Vert and Brian's GTE go across. But I'd take a stab at the other three as well.

Brian and Steve are co-sponsoring the prizes with WCCC, their cars are weighted higher for that reason. Don decided to 'bid'em all!'

 

[Local Hero]

OK, thanks for that info.

Do you mean the earliest bid wins?

 

[0F91H570075]

We have T-Shirts and key chains....

Cool! I didn't know that.
