Coffee mug auction

[ezdays]

Yes, here we are one month into our fifth anniversary and we haven't auctioned off anything yet. We have our chance now since Charlie B won this coffee mug in the last photo contest and donated it right back to Big Blue for this auction to help support these forums. A most generous offer, and we really appreciate the gesture Charlie.

Anyway, here's our very first coffee cup auction. It has our fifth anniversary logo on it and will be something you can use every day or proudly display it in your train room. Here are the rules:

1. There is no minimum bid and no reserve, the highest bidder at the time the auction closes will get the mug.
   
2. Please keep your bid raises in increments of fifty cents or more.
   
3. You can bid by posting it in this thread. Send a PM to either ezdays or ngauger if you have any questions.
   
4. If you want to enter an anonymous bid (just like the rich and famous do), you can PM either ezdays or ngauger and we will bid on your behalf.
   
5. The auction will run until Valentine's Day, February 14th, at which time we will announce the winner.
   
6. We will add a flat rate of $5.00 for shipping to any US or Canadian address, and calculate postage to other countries.
   
7. Payment can be by PayPal, check or MO. We will give the winner instructions on how and where to pay.

Remember, 100% of the proceeds from this auction is to help keep Big Blue running, so we are depending on you for your support and hope to give something like this in return.
