Whoo hoo! I'm the currently high bidder!

Oh wait. Shhhhh. Low profile on this one, Darell...

 

[Graham]

Too late. Looks like Don is getting in on the action..

Tried again... failed again. This is gonna be ugly. Except for the CPF coffers I mean

 

[Carpe Diem]

Get your wallets out guys, this last Arc won`t be going cheap.

As Darell so aptly put it... "Be afraid. Be very afraid...."

 

[Graham]

Well, I'm keeping out of this one. I've got a wedding to save for..

Then again, 2 brass Arc AAAs..hmm..they are nice and shiny..
A real flashaholic wedding..
"With this brass Arc AAA I thee wed.."

Naah. I think if I tried that my fiance would find new and interesting ways to inflict pain on me...

As if our level of excitement wasn`t high enough already...

Go for it, Graham! More pain on your part is a risk we`re all willing to take.

Grrrr

 

[Carpe Diem]

Hey, wait....what`s that sound?

JonSidneyB...is that you out there, lurking around Ebay?

Go for it!

 

[Darell]

$17.77 shy of the record price. Whoever wins this one will be supporting the CPF in grand style I see.

My plan is to snipe at the last second. Admit it, you guys. You're worried. You know my job pays better than anybody else's. You have NO HOPE of winning this thing. Five days to go... I'm getting my second mortgage papers together...

 

[Carpe Diem]

Ah, yes! Life is good.

This auction will make LED history. It will become a true urban legend.

Boy...I can hardly wait.

 

[JonSidneyB]

im winning

 

[Darell]

And with that, it is already the most expensive Arc ever. Cool. Now I wonder if it'll be the most expensive single-LED flashlight ever...

 

[Carpe Diem]

Good job, JonSidneyB.

It`ll be interesting to see where the bid ends up.

All for a good cause...long live the CPF!

 

[Grog]

Bump (the auction also). I can tell my friends I bid 370 on a flashlight.

 

[Carpe Diem]

This is certainly not for the feint of heart.

 

[Carpe Diem]

JonSidneyB...

Your efforts are not going unnoticed. Good job.

And good luck to all of the bidders.

I`ll be out of this hunt. I just received my second brass Arc. Very beautiful...and IMHO well worth the high dollars being spent on Ebay. And for such a good cause.

On the other hand, I just bought a 19th century Ross brass microscope, and I`m going to pause for just a short time to get my financial breath.

Good luck, guys. I`ll be watching!

Carpe Diem - I used to have a brass Ross bar limb. Fascinating instrument. It "disappeared" in a move from Virginia to California about 34 years ago and the insurance company gave me about $100 for it then, as best I recall. I still miss it. Enjoy.

Hi jmm...

Thanks for your post.

Best wishes to you and the auction!

 

[Darell]

jmm's got 'em on the ropes!
