This is the 3rd Ivory 354 to appear as an Auction Contest phone. The first was Contest #18 in December of 2008 and it sold for $271. The second was Contest #94in July of 2013 and it sold for $170. This, the third time around, it sold for $102.50. Appears the value of these over time has decreased. During this auction, the bids increased slowly over the first few days and then just sat at $93.32 for the last two days. Then fizzled away at the end with a few snipes driving the price up to $102.50.

The winner of Auction Contest #121 is maarm, who with the 15th and very last entry into the contest offered the winning guess of $140.00. Congratulations go out to maarm for getting their first win in the CRPF Auction Contests and on the Contest Standings board. AND, not only was that the first win, but the contest guess was also maarm's very first post on the forum, ever. A new member's first post is a first time contest guess and a WINNER! How about that!

Thanks again to all who played. As always, there is only one way to get on the winner's board or move up a rung - you have to play to win.
