Merits retail value at least.

It is my belief that the retail value seems a little low.

It might be, seeing as how figuring it out involves math. And it was me who did it.

sssssh....

[Trautwein's Degree]

Let me add that I was in Lefty's seats on Sunday and they were great.

The view of the field is awesome. You are really close to the field. Plus, look to your left in about the 8th inning and you will see the very lovely Heidi Watney.

Not that it matters too much, but I just went and "purchased" every item in this auction. (Through Stub Hub, the hotel itself and a limo company) and my total was (without tax) 1360.

Did you include the $150 gift card in your total?

[Candy LaChance]

You guys are funny! We're not ticket scalpers, so I put retail value (i.e. face value, and not rack rates) on everything. I did include the gift card. Would you like me to edit it, so you won't worry any more?

[dcmissle]

Drocca knows that in my city (and his) two nose bleed tix to the Deadskins, plus parking, would have you at $1360 pronto. No limo, no giftcard, or anything else.

[Candy LaChance]

OK. I fixed it.

$1500 if you buy a round of beers at Danny Boy's prices...

EDIT: To be clear, that isn't a bid on this auction item, just a comment on Dan Snyder.

[Candy LaChance]

So the last actual bid was Drocca at $1100. Back on track!

[taxmancometh]

I'm in for $1200

DH- Sorry, at the risk of exposing myself to ridicule, I don't get the reference.

Me neither. Welcome, taxmancometh!

I was commenting that you out bid "the richest man on earth" our own Drocca.

He's Mammon in a bottle and you are his screwcap.

[Candy LaChance]

Ah. Thanks for being my wiki of cultural references. Nicely done. Now that I get it.

[taxmancometh]

Thanks for the explanation. I'd never thought of being a screwcap as a complement before. I'll try to live up to it!

[DannyHeep]

If you prefer cork, I could edit my post.

[taxmancometh]

No thanks. I'm thinking of myself as a screwcap already.

[Candy LaChance]

Back on track! Last bid was $1200.

Come on people! Tickets like this alone just went for $650; this is late season Yankees, folks! Hotel, limo and cash AND the tickets is quite the prize!

Edited by Candy LaChance, 20 July 2008 - 09:58 AM.

[Candy LaChance]

You know you want to!

[taxmancometh]

Dare I, only a lurker, dream of winning such a great prize for $1200?

[Madison33]

Bid more and then give the whole thing to me for my birthday...it's a biggie Kids!

30?

[Candy LaChance]

Come on, people! This one is going for under retail value! Tickets alone are going for this much!

[Madison33]

30?

Shhh...we don't verbalize my misery...

[Candy LaChance]

LAST CALL!

[Frisbetarian]

LAST CALL!

This is only at $1200? For 2 nights is a Beacon Hill hotel, dinner, limo, and MFY tickets a mere 6 rows from the field?

Where's my buddy Yammer to bust some nads here? Do you guys want kids to get ALS?

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Screw it. I don't want the poor kids to catch ALS.

$1300.

[Candy LaChance]

You're getting a bargain, Bob, because with the $150 AmEx gift card, it's like getting a $150 rebate!

[Rooster Crows]

I'll bid $1,500 (subject to Candy's approval).

[Candy LaChance]

Momoneymomoneymomoneymomoney! Go for it, RC!

[Frisbetarian]

Closed. Congratulations Rooster Crows! Winning bid is $1500. Pay Here! After payment has been received, Candy LaChance will contact you about arranging your incredible weekend.

Nice job.

[LoweTek]
