What will it bring? Let's hear your guesses before the auction's final day, and you could be this week's winner!

$1600, maybe.....That's a very desirable set. These type of sets generally divide the boys from the men, or the casual collector from the down right brutally serious collector

$1871

$1150

Whew, that sure is pretty! Looks like I'm going to have to go with a wild and amazingly high bid idea of 950 clams, Amerikun. I know, that's low, but I keep thinking that any minute now the economy is going to put the brakes on these e-bay auctions and I'll win the Big Prize.

What is the Big Prize this week anyway?

HobieSport · March 10, 2009, 01:58:59 AM

I'll go with $1300.
McHeath, the big prize is your very own one of these highly collectible caterpillar phones:

Seriously though, that really is one of the neatest phones I've ever seen in my brief career.

Bill Cahill · March 11, 2009, 06:24:24 AM

Nice toy... Hmmm, alot of bids.....
MMMM. I guess, drum roll, please........
I guess 2100.00.

Dan/Panther · March 11, 2009, 02:03:16 PM

My guess.....
$1960.00

$789. It will be a bargain

AET · March 11, 2009, 11:57:28 PM

With the economy the way it is, 1255.

Yummy. But do I have to pay for the incoming calls? Cuz' if I do then it's a rip off and I'm so outta here.

mienaichizu · March 12, 2009, 01:23:32 AM

$1580 for me

Steve · March 13, 2009, 08:00:20 PM

Sweet looking phone. $1450

McHeath · March 16, 2009, 01:52:01 AM

Hey I think I won this one, final price of 971.99! A lot less than I really thought it would go for.

bingster · March 16, 2009, 02:17:58 AM

It's all you, McHeath! Congratulations.

Stay tuned for the next auction to be posted shortly!
