ReplyDeleteWho wins between Blee and Melissa?
ReplyDeleteOoh, it's a tie. Yikes! Congratulations to whoever gets it!
ReplyDeleteTHE BIDDING IS CLOSED.
ReplyDeleteWell, crap. I cannot award this prize to both of you, as Abby has not agreed to do two winners...
This is the first time this has happened, if you can believe that.
ReplyDeleteDance off!!
ReplyDeleteWe were saving the best for last ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have it but if Melissa is okay with a coin toss or something, so am I. I'm easy, so however you guys decide Victoria is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteI have to wake up early to go to work, so I'll check back in the morning to see how it's decided.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the late night bidding fun, wow, that was exciting!!
Here's how I think it must work. Blee's bid must be taken as the winner because technically it came first, and so Melissa's, as a duplicate bid, cannot count. Does this make sense to both parties?
ReplyDeleteSadly, yes. Congrats, Blee! Thank you, Victoria, for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThank you ALL for helping make this a simply amazing auction.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. You were all great competitors Melissa, Valerie, sbjames, and Janice.
