We’ve just finished watching the final moments of the eBay auction for Muchacha’s old boat trailer. On Friday night I set up the auction and put a starting price of $150 on it. We thought the trailer was probably worth a bit more but that’s what we’d have been happy with.
By Sunday night it was at $250 after six bids with around 20 watching it. Fantastic.
Then this morning it was up to $300 with more than 40 watchers and at 12pm it was at $400. Double fantastic.
By 2.30 there were 17 bids, eight different bidders and it had jumped to $535.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$535!

Supply and demand, I guess.
P.S. Jayne “watched” the last 14 minutes of auction by hitting refresh every 20 seconds. Then she had to have a cup of tea and a lie down to recover from the stress of waiting for new bids and seeing none.

Great photo! Gotta love the Ebay rush! Have you started looking for other things to sell yet?
Oh - and a strange thing happened while reading your page! All the lights dimmed, my PC flicked a bit and and I saw the strangest image! I think it was some Geelongiens trying to communicate with me! I managed to grab the image though - check it out here http://www.redb.com.au/geelongiens.jpg

Nice. I look a bit like Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith).
Didn’t we all decide on Geelongalongs?
