AGS Auction #1

[dungeonjoe]

AGS King Cake
Starting bid: US $40.00
Listing ends Feb-27-06 00:00:00 PST

FORGET THE REST! You are bidding on the best King Cake that can be had! The winner will receive a Bavarian Cream filled King Cake from the famous Delicious Bakery in Louisiana! This cake will be 'made to order' instead of the 'shelf' cakes listed elsewhere on eBay. If you want the most moist and creamy King Cake for this year's Mardi Gras (2/28/06) this is the one! This offer will not be listed again this year.

Our fresh baked King Cake will be shipped as soon as it cools from the oven and I will include Mardi Gras beads of a higher quality in the shipment. This mouthwatering creation can eaten cold or heated in a microwave oven, but I promise there will be none left!

WARNING: This cake is so good that you'll slap your Mama for not buying one of these when you were little!

This cake will be carefully packaged in a shipping box and sent UPS Priority Overnight to your doorstep with NO shipping charges (only shipped in the continental USA 48 states). Even though we have had no problems in the past, and do everything within our power to insure safe delivery of your King Cake, we cannot guarantee that it will arrive in absolute perfect condition. Therefore we will not be held liable for damage in shipment and the cake must be accepted in the condition received. The sale will be final.

Brought to you by Any Given Saturday!

If anyone has not had a King Cake, you really should bid on this. It is ridiculously good.

If anyone has had a King Cake before, well, then, I guess you know just what I am talking about and will be bidding!!!!!

FYI, in case you haven't realized it, the proceeds of the auction go to support AGS.... So get your bid on!

AGS is having a bake sale!!! The AGS King Cake looks like a masterpiece... :nod:

Okay, who's bidding? You??

Is the bidding for that beauty limited to AGS members or can anyone try to win the auction?

[buckp]

This cake is already at $72.50!

It's HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!

(sorry about that ASU fans, I just had to....) :o

[colgate13]

Seriously, $72.50! Now I need to find a way to go 'half-zies' with someone!

For those of you needing to do some research, here you go (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cake).

So you are saying that you're not just buying a King Cake....you're helping to buy a piece of the greatest national communication tool for I-AA fans ever assembled on the face of this earth?

The bidding is really heated now and it appears to be a challenge. There are a couple of others that are waiting on the side to swoop and grab Sunday night before midnight when the auction ends... is that you?

Ralph,

Forgot to set my alarm. Next time don't end the auction at 3 A.M. est.

Hope we have more of these. Good idea, and good fun.

[dungeonjoe]

The winning bid was made Thursday or Friday. I was surprised to see no bids after that.

[Tribe4SF]

I fell asleep in my layback watching the olympics (imagine that). I never bid on auctions till the end.

Congrats on getting the King Cake, Joe. And more so for your support of AGS!:hurray:

Actually, if you find the baby that means you have to buy the next one.
