Well...

Darkhorse · January 7, 2004 7:49AM

Something caught my eye today that I had to have and it was discounted as well. I bought it with borrowed cash and of course I have to pay it back.

Therefore I have decided to sell by best coins and start over again. I do this often, it's not something I get sad about in any way, I like starting over.

I've decided to hold a sort of silent auction type thing. I'll list an item with an opening bid and you PM me to bid on it, I'll mark the item as having a bid in the thread and its current price. Someone else could PM me and offer a higher price and I'll change the price and number of bids in the thread and inform the underbidder they've been outbid.

I think my auction will start tonight and run until Sunday. What do you think of this idea?

cosmicdebris · January 7, 2004 7:51AM

I call dibs on any toned coins.

Darkhorse · January 7, 2004 7:52AM

There will be 3

cosmicdebris · January 7, 2004 7:53AM

What are they?

1jester · January 7, 2004 7:55AM

Sounds like a good idea. Will there be reserves on the auctions?

Cosmic, no fair jumping the gun!!

Coincracker · January 7, 2004 7:55AM

Lets see the coin yuo had to have. Come on now share the eye candy.

Darkhorse · January 7, 2004 7:57AM

All the pics will be in the auction thread. The toned coins will be my Canadian dollars which have graced my sigline for a few weeks.

cosmicdebris · January 7, 2004 7:58AM

Cool.

You'll miss the FUN crowd. Unless they have their laptops with them.

Darkhorse · January 7, 2004 8:35AM

When does FUN end? There aren't many Darksiders attending, are there?

Aethelred · January 7, 2004 8:41AM

<< When does FUN end? There aren't many Darksiders attending, are there? >>

Trust me dude, wait until after FUN as there are a butt load of us going!

ajaan · January 7, 2004 8:42AM

Phil, most FUN guys and gals will be home Sunday night. I would run the your auction until Monday night. I'll be at FUN as well as mongoose, aethelbore, spinaker, rhound 1977, lordmarcovan and others.

Darkhorse · January 7, 2004 8:51AM

Alrighty.

laurentyvan · January 7, 2004 8:53AM

We will bid more enthusiastically when the FUN crowd is gone as we will have at least half a chance without them around.

cosmicdebris · January 7, 2004 9:32AM

Screw the FUN guys. Besides they won't have any money left when they get back.

Let us have at your coins while they are gone

Darkhorse · January 7, 2004 9:42AM

I will extend it to Monday at 6pm est.

So, when are we going to see a picture of this coin that you had to have?

mongoose · January 13, 2004 2:10PM

Phil, you have the eye. You have always done well moving on!

Screw the FUN guys. Besides they won't have any money left when they get back.

Bill, how did I miss this?

Sorry, it wasn't a coin.

Coincracker · January 13, 2004 2:34PM

At the risk of appearing out of the "loupe" what is exactly is it. I'm not familuar with Mac.

historygeek · January 13, 2004 2:42PM

Mp3 player

Using it for jogs?

Darkhorse · January 13, 2004 2:52PM

I use my legs to get around most of the time, yes.
iPod is the most popular MP3 player out there for Macs and PCs. The 10gb model was upgraded to 15 so I got the 10 at a bit of a discount.
I'm happy with it.

Darkhorse · January 13, 2004 3:16PM

oh yeah, and I'm moving to vancouver too so I kind of need money for that.

historygeek · January 13, 2004 3:47PM

Where in Vancouver? West End? East End? Yaletown? North Shore?

Syracusian · January 13, 2004 4:48PM

Is this a permanent moving Phil? It wouldn't have to do with your professional ambitions, would it?

Darkhorse · January 13, 2004 6:28PM

I haven't found work at home. So I msut move to the big city. No question.
I haven't decided where in the city but that depends on where I get work. Luckily my brother, sister and an old university friend of mine lives there which could make the transition easier.

trozau · January 13, 2004 9:25PM

<<

My son wants that for his birthday. I'll tell him to watch out for the upgrade deal you got. Good luck on the move to Vancouver. Watch out for STDs (read somewhere that they currently have the highest occurence rates).

Darkhorse · January 14, 2004 8:44AM

I won't be living in east Vancouver so I'll be pretty safe from STD's... I guess...

farthing · January 14, 2004 10:09AM

Also in your favor is your noted skills with the female gender.

At least you are no Cammy!

Darkhorse · January 14, 2004 10:29AM

historygeek · January 14, 2004 12:06PM

Vancouver is also the crime capital of North America. Still want to move?

Darkhorse · January 15, 2004 11:27AM

What kind of crime are we talking about here?

historygeek · January 15, 2004 2:57PM

Well, crimes rangeing from Kiddie prostitution to breaking and entering. Which is not surprising since Vancouver has 1/3 of the police force a city of it's size is suppose to have.

rhound1977 · January 16, 2004 2:08AM

I know it's off topic but I will have one of these in a couple of days..........

ajaan · January 16, 2004 2:10AM

WHAT????? How dare you post something off topic?

rhound1977 · January 16, 2004 2:11AM

If you leave it on for a while it will produce heat..............

XpipedreamR · January 16, 2004 2:23AM

Couldn't you keep the coins and get a Walkman instead?

historygeek · January 16, 2004 6:16AM

iPod is better. Walkman = magnetic cassette tape
magnetic cassette tape = crappy sound quality + quality degrades over time and with usage

CD walkman + running = skipping
iPod = no moving parts = low maintenance

iPod is better.

XpipedreamR · January 16, 2004 7:02AM

Yes, but

Walkman=Keep coins!

Well...
