Several times that I hope.  One of the granddaughters, not Margaux or Mariel, I think Lorian was her name, used to attend a bookclub in a house I lived in.  Invitations were extended but I could never be bothered to read the book of the week. How lame is that. grubbiv Active Collector Joined: 29 Mar 2006 Last Visit: 03 Jan 2009 Posts: 51 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:30 pm The backstory on the Hemingway is maybe interesting so I will tell it.  Nine years ago I was at Amazon and Bezos came and told us we had to build an auction site or Ebay would wipe us off the map.  We built it and there were a bunch of collectibles that were acquired and auctioned to try to get the thing rolling.  I recall some of Einstein's personal papers.  Bezos himself bid for and won a cave bear skeleton which got put in the hallway of the building on Beacon Hill.  I used some of the internet money I was flush with to pick up the Hemingway. Maybe it was a bad thing that employees were bidding on the auctions.  We never got any of Ebay's market share of auctions.  The whole effort looked to be a loss, but it wasn't too hard to tweak the code to allow fixed price selling, and when we allowed sellers to list their items side-by-side with Amazon products, the 3rd party sales became a major profit center for the company.  Yay us. red_bus Valuation Board Joined: 10 Feb 2003 Last Visit: 08 Jan 2009 Posts: 1756 Location: Olde London Towne Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:19 pm That signed Ltd Ed.

Christ almighty!  That has to be some kind of record for Tombs of Valla.     I would love to see the total amount of lofenloc's yearly Ebay expenditures.  He probably spends more on Ebay in one year than I make at my job in the same amount of time.   Hey Al, you should try and see if TFM will buy yours for his high bid.  That would be a pretty nice bit of change in your pocket considering you got it for what....twenty bucks?   Deogolf Prolific Collector Joined: 07 Apr 2006 Last Visit: 07 Jan 2009 Posts: 153 Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 6:24 pm     Kingofpain89 wrote: Christ almighty!  That has to be some kind of record for Tombs of Valla.     I would love to see the total amount of lofenloc's yearly Ebay expenditures.  He probably spends more on Ebay in one year than I make at my job in the same amount of time.   Hey Al, you should try and see if TFM will buy yours for his high bid.  That would be a pretty nice bit of change in your pocket considering you got it for what....twenty bucks?   Glad I'm not the only one who had the same thought!! My wife would have my nuts and head on a post if I spent that much.
