THIS ITEM IS SOLD FOR $19.50.
I'm auctioning off some discs to benefit IOS 5, our A-tier at Rockford in September. We've raised the cash we need for the Pro added cash and now we're working on buying lunches.
I could take this stuff to eBay, but I would like to give PDGA family members first crack at this. Also, I think silent anonymous auctions are lame. I go to a few auctions. I like the ones where the auctioneer chats for a bit and then cants for a bit. I like auctions where the bidding ends when the auctioneer says it ends. There's no waiting until the last second. You don't know when the last second will be!

Our first item is 172 gm CFR Destroyer. It's that bright yellow-green color and has a sharp geometric dye pattern done in black. It come complete with the Innova CFR certificate.
Who will start the bidding? Do I hear $10?

No but if anyone were to bid 30, next, I'd end the bidding before it devolved into rioting! :D I've got 15. Will anyone give me 20 to keep Harold happy?
Does anyone need a side view of how domey it is? I forgot to take the side view but I still can.

Sorry this took so long. I had to find kelsey's camera, recharge the batteries, remember why I was recharging batteries, remember why I needed a camera...

I think it is normal domey for a Destroyer. I'm going to bump this a couple of times tomorrow and then bang the gavel.

Oof! Kelsey's camera had a battery failure that caused it to lose all its stored pictures. I went and read on the internet and that happens with this brand of camera. I'm going to have to explain this to her in a way that makes it clear that this would have happened the next time she turned on her camera if it had been her, and she'll still hate me for a month.
We're at 19.50. That's a fair price. Do I hear $22? Free shipping on bids $22 and more. Let's sell this one today and put up another.

$19.50
Let me quote that bid in case it should be a winner. :D I'm going to go back to work and at the end of the work day I'll close this auction and start another. This is the last bump. Next time I type, I'll be calling it.

Would anyone like a Cat in the Hat? Like my avatar except not presently lost on the slopes of Alpine Mtn in White Lake, MI.
I'm finishing my IOS trophies right now.

Ever since we adopted the garage cats, Patches, Tija and Spitter, we have not had any mice in the house. Except last week this mouse was in the house. This is the very first time I've done this arrangement of black, red and yellow dye on a disc and what do you know! Came out nice.

175 ESP Buzzz.
This will close before I leave town for IOS 4, but if bidding is quick, it could close really soon. At a real auction the auctioneer kind of weighs how much he's gonna get by dragging it out versus how much time is left and what's left to sell.
Anyone got ten bones for this vermin infested midrange?

I generally have popular Discraft and Innova molds and reasonable prices. That CFR disc just went for $19.50. That's reasonable. But I've been working that wrangling-over-what-I-got-versus-what-they-want angle and have been getting a lot of window shoppers wasting my time recently. Just send me your specs and if i can meet them I will. You want X on Y for Z. I'll tell you yes or no and do it tomorrow, mail it Wednesday.

No interest? The mouse is off the blocks. I'm going to offer one more item, when I get home and take a picture. After that you can compete with the masses on eBay.
