REA what will it sell for?

REA ends this Saturday. Let's play "guess the price" without BP since it seems we won't be able to play "Guess the card Pete will win with a drunken bid."

t206 Doyle
t206 Wagner
Ty Cobb tin
m101-4/5 Ruth
Peck & Snyder Atlantic Nine (I know this is a tough and popular card but the price is already beyond what I thought it would go for)
red Hindu WaJo (for Pete even though I shouldn't do it since he has ruined our fun by not drinking during this year's auction

Oops

t206 Doyle $350,000
t206 Wagner $520,000
Ty Cobb tin $120,000
m101-4/5 Ruth $150,000
Peck & Snyder Atlantic Nine $90,000
red Hindu WaJo $13,000

T minus 5 minutes and counting until regular bidding ends. Have you got your bids in yet on the lots you want?

I'm in with my bids. I'm leading 2 lots but I doubt I'll come away with either. It was kind of a ho-hum REA for me because the stuff I'm looking for, and within my means, was nowhere to be found.

How are you boys doing?

I've got bids in on lots of stuff but blow out of the water on most. Have one item I plan on winning no matter the cost and then whatever is leftover is hopefully enough to get something else sweet.

Be sure to join us in the chatroom. We had a blast year.

Thanks for the invite Jay.

This sounds promising. I picture a guy shoving all his chips to the center of the table, looking at the competition and saying "put that in your pipe and smoke it!"

Fortunately, the item I want is a relatively low dollar item with limited interest it should stay under $1k and leave a nice chunk to chase something else I want.

I have 3 lots in REA. Two are doing well. The other one was the one I expected to do really well and still sitting under low estimate

Jay... I would guess very similar hammers to yours except i think the red hindu wajo will end higher. I agree in this auction is kinda boring to me too! I need a few e94's but hammer prices are nearing high retail.

Prices seem to be all over the board. Some stuff really high. Other on the low side. We'll see if that treat holds through the night. My t205 lot is way below what I was hoping to get for it.

Pete, I cooked up a new sauce for wings in honor of Ty and stole his name 667 Neighbor of the Beast. It's a wing sauce with mango, ghost pepper and my secret ingredient pepper. The stuff is awesome. I've got 10 pounds of wings that will be ready to eat about 6pm if you want to come over.

sh*t jay that sounds awesome! But im on a no carb diet...i cant even drink!

Ingredients are mango, butter, brown sugar, assorted peppers, vinegar. I don't think there are any carbs in that. If there is, it's minimal.

Having trouble getting connected to the chatbox...

see you finally got in.
