November's CPGear Contest [Auction]

[Mike Bobbitt]

Sorry it's a bit late in coming folks, but this month's contest is a simple auction: MilPoints for gift certificates.

There are five $20 CPGear Gift Certificats up for auction. To place a bit just reply to this thread with the amount you want to pony up. You can't bid on more than one gift certificate, and of course you have to actually *have* the MilPoints you're bidding.

At the end of the month (Eastern time) the top 5 bids will be awarded the gift certificates, and the amounts bid will be deducted from their MilPoints total. So yes - MilPoints can be useful from time to time!

Here are the current top bids:

15,095 Eye in the Sky
12,655 The Beaver
11,570 Celticgirl
11,265 CDN Aviator
7,844 Rodahn

Good luck!
Mike

Mike, I'll take a hit.  All the milpoints I got, I don't think they really mean anything do they???
That would be 1050 as of today. 

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Good stuff, we have our first bid!

As to the MilPoints value... I guess we'll find out for sure at the end of the month!

[chris_log]

1,314 Mil Point. Had to edit when I saw how many I had (had a few more then I thought). 

 

[vonGarvin]

By "top" bid, I'm guessing that people assume that it's only the "highest" bids, so I'm going against the grain and bidding 1 (one) Milpoint. ;D

Well this may seem like a little bit of overkill but I really want that gift certificate so I'm going to bid ALL my points, yea I know what your thinking "No need, you could bid half your monstrous stack of milpoints and easily win." but I really want this gift certificate so I'm going all-in! 260 points, that's right, 260  !

[Rodahn]

Mike; take all of my milpoints and should I be the winner, send the certificate to Avor as per the email from leroi.

Chimo.

Edited to add:

Rather than have the contest this month Mike, could you just not donate the whole $100.00 to Avor? I realize that it goes against the grain, but I think that would be a worthy note from Milnet/Army.ca, and might improve his morale.

Cheers
