A lucky winner (for a change)

The 56572 editor was the lucky winner of this - printed in Germany - color postcard looking west across early 1900's Stony Bar on eBay this noon.

I put an unheard of bid in last week and forgot about it over the weekend. When I checked early this morning there had been some bidding activity. Just to be sure I upped my unheard of bid by $5. Had I not done so, I would have lost.

Moral of the story: put down what you're willing to pay the first time. Then towards the end of the auction, if you're still high bidder, up it.

When I'm gone, my kids can fight about it.
