Update on the softball auction

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

The Marvel ball is still ahead, but there’s only three bids. Is anyone from this board bidding? C’mon…that’d be so cool, if somebody here got it. Tell you what: If somebody here is the winning bid, I’ll send you the hat I wore while pitching, and I’ll sign the brim. (See the entry below for the link.)

UPDATE, 8/5: The Marvel ball is currently at over a hundred bucks while the DC ball is at just over fifty.

UPDATE, 8/6: With three hours to go, the Marvel ball is up to $167. Anyone from here in the hunt? (The DC ball hasn’t moved.)

  2. PAD, I am not sure, much as I would value the signed hat, the hat is that much of an incentive.

  4. Okey doke… i’ll stick in a bid. But be warned that you’ll be paying that postage over to Ireland if i win… that’ll be a least 7 bucks!

    No but we need enough for everyone in the family to wear them at the same time.

  8. Well, I was immediately outbid on the Marvel ball, but I’m still the top bidder on the DC one after a whoole weekend.

    I was expecting a bit more parity, but I guess the PAD hat offer is a bigger incentive than I thought. 🙂

  9. Dammit!

    When I saw you talking about the Marvel ball I immediately check ed it out! When I saw it was still stupidly cheap, I put a $155 bid on (username quaidrayne) and was in the lead for ages. The I got slightly outbid, so I pushed my bid to $165, but got immediately outbid. I figured it would end up going for far more once it got closer to the time, but it didn’t! It went for $167.50!

    Arg! I wouldn’t even have bothereed to bid in the first place if it wasn’t for the fact that the money was for charity, but now I wish I’d checked the bidding closer to the end. Seeing it so low might have encouraged me to push my own bid a little more.

    Rats. Anyway, now that I’ve found heroinitiative on ebay, I have them tagged as a favourite seller, so hopefully I’ll get something some other time!

    Thanks for the heads-up on it, and keep up the great work!

    Denis.
