Congratulations to John for a wonderful addition to his excellent museum where it will be displayed and appreciated by visitors from around the world! And not too bad for a seller with 0-feedback!!

All I can say is congratulations, that is a whopping amount at $21,433.67!!!

Wow, it went from 16k to 21k in the blink of an eye!  More fun than watching the Super Bowl!

[twocvbloke]

Just some quick braindead maths, did I win the guess? ~1,100 more than my guess, but ~1,400 less than Mr. Bones?

[Sargeguy]

Congratulations!!!   Double my prediction!

I hope the buyer restores it and gets it working.  Of course to use it, don"t they need a pair?

[TelePlay]

Congrats to Mr. Bones for winning the contest by $27 with the sale price nearly splitting the difference between Mr. Bones and twocvbloke, I think . . .

They have other incomplete ones, but none in such good shape. It can also be displayed in self view mode.

Yes it was close for sure! But Mr. bones seems to have barely edged out twocvbloke. Too bad twocv, apparently Maureen just found another one in a box and the contest winner gets the box it was in!

I just used a calculator, Mr. Bones got the prize, not me...

Here is another stat:

29 guests and 25 members on line at the moment on CRPF. I have seen more guests at once but never more members at one time. Didn't get the chance to check just as the auction was completing. Lost I member before I thought to copy and paste the list here below but word has spread to the guests, they are up to 36 now.

This auction and, indeed, Mo have both been good for us as a forum!

[Phonesrfun]

For me, there have been two events that have really piqued my interest on this fourm in ways that other activities haven't.

Maureen's auction, and her exploring the items of her father's estate is one, and Dan Panther's trial 500 is the other. 

This is a great forum!
