Step right up fellas to the most stupendacular combobilocious auction this side of the Yangtze!

You can bid on the dubious studious previous nebulous honor of having my humble 6000th post on the thread and subject of your choice (some restrictions apply).

All proceeds to GYE!

do I hear $1000 from the gentleman with the striped blazer in row #3?

I will begin the biddin' at 72.00; 36.00 for GYE and 36.00 for you, and for this bid, I propose it should be on Yankel's thread.

So kindly hit the gavel and lets the auction begin!

Posting on Yankel's thread wopuld be worse then posting on mine, because over there, he wouldn't EVER respond. Where in the world is he!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I say $73.00, and I want the post on Bardy's Pub.

$80.00

split in two still.

Still on Yankel's thread.

Is that a bid?

I bid $100 to GYE on condition that post 6000 is a post on the real Bardichev's thread replying to a meaningful post by the real Bards.

I bid $120 of Yankel's money that it be on TZ's thread.

Although an absentee bid is a procedure that allows a bidder to participate in the bidding process without being physically present, nevertheless, that is if it is he himself actually bidding; not when he is stealing someone else’s money, and I would assume that this auction adheres to a strict code of ethics and standards of practice, under the Accredited Auction Real Estate terms. Now, once the object has been placed upon the auction block, and a contract has been executed by the auctioneer and the seller which authorizes the auctioneer to conduct the auction and sets out the terms of the agreement and the rights and responsibilities of each party, then each auctioneer would be directly responsible for all aspects of marketing the property – even when the reserve has not been met. Now, in this instance, bid riggin’ is strictly forbidden, for the value of Zemmy’s 6,000th post cannot be deflated. As the ‘caveat emptor’ is undeniable, there can be no collusion or fictitious manipulations of the critical path, unless otherwise noted by the International Auctioneer Champion. In conclusion, as the hammer price has not been settled on, and this commodity will bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, I hereby issue a memorandum promulgated in conjunction with efforts to harmonize the bidding process, excludin’ any silent bidder actions, and thereby lay a bid of $130.00, although I am not bound by any required law to do so, again with the stipulation that the funds are evenly split between GYE and Zemmy, and further stipulate with this bid only – that Zemmy has the right to insert that particular post on any thread that he so desires, providin’ that a portion of the proceeds, not exceedin’ 30% of the fair value of the post, shall be awarded to the proprietor of that thread. Bang, Bang into the room; if he hangin’ we bangin’, phone rangin’, he slangin’, gavelin’ at $130.00!!!!!

ahem!
we don't make such auctions for 3000 measly posts.

thank you thank you all the esteemed bidders, especially those bidding with their own money (ahem)

Cords, the boilerplate you wrote is lovely and eloquent but i have no idea what you meant. anudder ting, it says be'feirush that all proceeds go to GYE so i dunno where the 30% and the splitting it figure in the scheme of things.

right now i have 2 more posts to go before 6k so if you want to get this honor the time is now

me neither.

it's my money; I can do what I want.

My last bid is 130 to be split between you and Gye.

If you don't accept the bid, don't klap the gavel!

I am returnin' back to original bid of mine - it should go on Yankel's thread.

Goin' once......

Zemmy Dont post until we figure this out!!!!
