Looks like Papa G's low-impact dice have rounded and worn down to become marbles...and he's losing them a bit...

21 hours 7 minutes 23 seconds left!

Oh, the suspense.

 

[Gez]

19 hours, 55 minutes.

Is the trick is to wait until the last minute before bidding one cent more than the previous highest bidder?

Yes, but you also have to out-smart the 500 other people planning on doing exactly the same thing.

 

[Jdvn1]

Yeah, lots of bids are won in the closing minutes...

Hey, Diaglo, not going to bid any more or waiting for the right moment?

my wife thinks a septic tank is more important.

so i had to cut myself off at what i could reasonably convince her was an investment.

it hurt my cause that i have at least 6 copies of the 1edADnDPHB.

Simple - put each of them up on eBay with the words "unique" and "rare" in big red flashing letters, maybe write "Bill Gates" or "Skip Williams" inside the covers (it's not illegal to write names in books after all) - you'll make enough to buy the other one and a septic tank too.

Oh, that's why it hurt? Well, give the copies to me and it wont' hurt anymore.

 

[KB9JMQ]

Well it went for over $1,500.
Whew, over my budget.
