Actually got this from the cashier at the restaurant I work at. She thought it was Canadian, but I told her honestly that it was American, just old. (figured she could've easily read the date to know that it was 100+ years old).

I traded her a quarter for it, so that is what I have into it, and that's where we will start the bidding. The question is, how much profit do you guys wanna let me make from it

I will put it into a 2x2, and package it up decent, so postage will be $.63 US, $1.60 international. PayPal preferred, other payments accepted.

Since this is a holiday week-end, I will wait to close it until next Tuesday, Sept 5, at 9:00 est (GMT +5)

37 cents!

.56c, right??

65 cents

Oooooo, I want this one.

Three washers and I'll throw in some Yugoslavian stamps

three washers and a jefferson and a genuine used US postage stamp.

Let's see, I have a spare Sacagawea here that I can throw in. And of course the yugoslavian stamps

A sackie, a bufferson, and some Chinese stamps.

A crisp new $1 dollar note, a Jefferson/Monticello, 5 Lincolns, and a preprinted bulk rate postage notice from a piece of genuine junk mail.

One scruffy rag $1, one crisp clean Banc Eireannais Ltd $1, and some Chinese stamps.

There's a Kennedy sitting next to Sacagawea now, on a bed of yugoslavian stamps

Uh, Banc EireAnnais $1's are at par with the buck. The silver certificates, are rare though and they are worth about $9 now.

ah, didn't know that...

let's see, what have we got more.....


oh, right, I also had three washers to accompany sacagawea and Kennedy

Keep bidding boys! Don't forget: this coin is like the Ford T4! 1904!

I really like this coin. SO let's see.

Current bid:
sac
jfk
wash x3
WOW! That's like 2.25 in cash.

I'll up the ante a bit. I've got 2 nice $1.00 notes, two roosevelts, two jeffersons, and a bunch of cancelled US stamps that I have been meaning to send to T_3.

HEY!

How come you're not procrastinating here, Art????


where's ma roosies.......

OK, sackie, JFK, 3 wash, 3 roosies.

And the Yugoslavian stamps of course

I guess if I lose this auction, I might as well finally put those stamps into an envelope and mail them to T_3.

Let's see -- current bid T_3 :
sac
jfk
3 wash
3 roos
that's $2.55 plus a Yugo stamp.

I need to think about this for a while. I can't rush into things. I may be casting my children's inheritence to the winds. Must think. Must analyze. Must contemplate.

They put a Yugo on a stamp?

I think someone actually did put a Yugo on a stamp. I don't have one.

So back to the bidding thingy.

I still have to place an order for some banknotes for 2006 greeting cards. I have a site bookmarked that has a nice selection in reasonable quantites and at prices I could live with. I just have to decide on the particular notes. I have been thinking of getting a variety pack thing -- everyone gets something different but I'm not sure.

Oh yeah $2.55 is T_3's bid on this beauty. Plus some Yugo stamp or a rear bumper from a Yugo or something like that.

OK. 2 - dollar bills; 4 roosevelts; 4 jeffersons, 5 Lincolns, the stamps I have put away for T_3; and two different business cards from my careers/businesses.

Speaking of the Yugo, yes I used to own one. At the time, I had a condo in Ft. Lauderdale with my daughter, and my wife & son had a townhouse in St. Louis. I used to trek up there to visit at least once a month, sometimes more often than that. That little Yugo never once failed to rise to the occasion. As a matter of fact, I once got stopped by a Georgia State Trooper, somewhere south of Atlanta. He refused to give me a ticket because he feared being ridiculed by his co-workers for writing a ticket for a Yugo he clocked doing 94 MPH. It was a downhill slope with a nice tail-wind, and I was in a hurry.

94MPH is around 170km/h??? Yugo can do that???
I drove in Germany some years ago an old VW Fox 1977 (carburetor) until 160km/h and oll others drivers into autobahn showed me Even now I am nostalgic about this lemon yellow car...

I remember the Cadillac dealer in California during the mid 80s that was advertising a free Yugo with your Cadillac purchase.

Getting back to the bidding, the current high bid is Art's bid of $2.65+.

I'm in the lead!!!

In your dreams!!!!


Let's see...

I had a sackie, JFK, 3 wash and 3 roosies. And the Yugoslavian stamps of course.

Then Art threw in a bunch of numismatic items with a total value of $2.65

Hang on, what have I got more....

OK, Sackie, JFK, 4 Washers, 3 Roosies. And, of course, the Yugoslavian stamps (but no yugo on them, Tito mabey)

This is getting quite heated and expensive. T_3 is only trying to protect that little pile of stamps that I have for him and am now offering as part of my bidding. So I'll remove the T_3 stamp stack.

Sackie -- $1
JFK -- $0.50
Washers(4) --- $1.00
Roosies (3) --- $0.30
Yugo stamps --- -$.45

So that's a total of ---------------where the heckfoo is my calculator.

$2.35

So my bid will have to be better than that by about a bunch. Like maybe 50 cents better.



Dollar bills x 2 = $2.00
JFK x 1 = $0.50
SQ - Conn x 1 = $0.25
SQ - TX x 1 = $0.25
Lincoln x 5 = $0.05

All my junk mail for one week - priceless.

T_3 is not only trying to protect that little pile of stamps that Art has for him.... He tries to get that "O" Barber quarter, one that's missing from his type set.

I'm running out of change, therefor the big work starts now...

Dollar notes x2 = $2.00
Sacagawea x 1 = $1.00
Washer x 1 = $0.25
Yugoslavian stamps x 10

You don't really think that that tiny bid can compare with all of my junk mail for a week. Do you?

Depends on how much it costs Kuhli to dispose of all that junk mail and how much he thinks it's worth.


He'll like the cash and the yugoslavian stamps, so he won't need to dispose of them

This ends in about 12 hours, as soon as I get home from work. Right now, T3 has high bid.

Dollars - US (various forms) x 3 == $3.00
Washers x 2 $0.50
Jeffersons x1 $0.05

No Yugo stamps

It's 9:00, I'm home from work, and this auction is closed. Congrats, Art!!!

Congratz, Art, you won fair and square

Thank you. T_3 put up a good fight. This was fun. PM on it's way to Scott.
