2018 Tim Keech Memorial auction for the Cancer Council

No problem if people cannot participate - the timing might not suit everyone but we appreciate those who can be involved.

A reminder too that only BIDS should be posted in a thread. A by production of this is that you can easily tell which auctions you are winning - you will be the last post -



Liking other people's bids is, of course, allowed!

While there are no restricts on bid increments the Forum's overarching 'Don't be a dick' policy still applies. So if I was to bid $401 in response to @borked's bid here - FOUR Australian Private Reserve Fragrances I think I would be contravening that rule (and get called out on it too!)

For what it is worth, when thinking about how much to bid you might bear in mind this information from the Cancer Council's donation page -

$25 - can help transport people affected by cancer to and from vital treatment.
$50 - can help fund a call to a cancer nurse on 13 11 20, that provides free and confidential information and support on all aspects of cancer.
$100 - can help fund ground-breaking research into new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.

Smoked me for those blades.

I am now wondering if the missus will let me support such a worthy cause such as the Cancer Council with a larger donation than I was initially contemplating

FTFY

What!

Thanks for the heads up @Ferret619, cause I might have missed @Razor Burn's bid otherwise.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed at posuere purus. Nam posuere congue nisi vitae dictum. Cras venenatis blandit neque, a iaculis odio vehicula vel. Nulla quis sem arcu. Donec at placerat nisl. Fusce neque nisl, iaculis eu ipsum vitae, lacinia lacinia turpis. Aenean sed quam quam. Proin auctor, justo rutrum finibus gravida, dolor tellus sagittis ligula, sit amet sagittis lorem turpis finibus nulla. Aliquam venenatis at arcu id cursus. Praesent lacus leo, pharetra eu augue nec, condimentum gravida nisi.

Proin tempus, orci lobortis placerat fermentum, nisl nisl scelerisque quam, eget facilisis dolor eros ut eros. Duis id lorem vehicula, pellentesque neque et, faucibus neque. Nulla facilisi. Donec placerat lorem purus, euismod rutrum augue porttitor eu. Vivamus lacinia, enim scelerisque tempor suscipit, orci enim consectetur nibh, ac lacinia eros justo a felis. Nunc maximus eros et ligula eleifend aliquam eget nec purus. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Cras pharetra, ipsum vel iaculis malesuada, mi leo ultricies ante, et euismod felis lacus a risus. Mauris tincidunt ultrices lacinia. Nullam bibendum, odio at tempus pretium, nibh augue dignissim dui, at cursus odio nisi sit amet quam.

I mean, fair dinkum. Next thing you know people will be hiding bids, like $125, in long sentences to make it harder for others to notice them and that way trying to game the system. They might even use that old boilerplate text trick to make it harder to notice. Etiam semper malesuada massa, at consequat risus aliquam et. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Nam porta odio nec lacinia faucibus. Nulla et tortor metus. Phasellus at justo at ipsum convallis tincidunt. In fermentum erat non dignissim dignissim. Sed vehicula, diam at dictum gravida, erat elit sodales nisl, in accumsan dolor urna sed diam. Donec ut libero congue, ornare lacus id, fermentum ante. Vivamus varius at ante quis auctor. Ut rhoncus interdum nibh, sed maximus ligula porta venenatis. Fusce massa metus, ultrices a venenatis non, euismod ut urna.

In sed quam ultrices, scelerisque lorem a, pulvinar ligula. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Pellentesque facilisis enim non mattis ultrices. Aenean dapibus rhoncus nulla. Fusce et vehicula ante, ut gravida erat. Quisque sapien eros, ultricies eget dignissim sit amet, aliquam non nulla. Praesent nunc odio, fringilla id consequat vitae, ornare nec dui. Pellentesque feugiat cursus dictum. Vivamus vitae vulputate felis. In sed lectus a nisi pretium consequat. In iaculis convallis iaculis. Praesent et commodo enim, ut lobortis turpis. Quisque eu ullamcorper urna. Mauris egestas tortor quis accumsan consequat. Sed interdum, lectus at congue lacinia, turpis est condimentum risus, eget pulvinar felis ipsum ac leo. Nulla leo diam, rhoncus sed lectus sed, rutrum ultricies diam.

Alternatively somebody might post in really small font, like this bid of $125 of mine here now, in order to make it harder for others.

I'm not sure either would meet our 'Don't be a dick' policy and I'm glad you guys are both gentlemen and are playing this game fairly :)

Now all I need is a cryptographer to decode the message.
