You just GOTTA know there's a story here. You'd be right, there is!
Okay, so I find this auction. I like the sponsors and the beneficiaries. I got a few GP. I bid on an item that my friend Daizy~wetandcoldbrr   had bid on. It's two days before the auction closes. I got some GP to throw around.
I decide to bid on a couple (OKAY! FIVE!) items. Some of the items are twins: the items you receive, a friend can receive as well. I think that's just really cool. There I was, mindin' my own bizness, not botherin' anybody--almost!
In the forum for the auction, I gets me this sideways greetin' from my friend Daizy, who seems none-the-happier that I upped her bid. Seems like she was ready to just waltz away with MY item! HA! (See above!) She upped my bid!! No, really! I KNOW!!
What's a good ole Amurhican boyee ta do? Of course I did. Immediately. Forthwith, anon. It started at (I think) my first raise to 35k. After 2 days, the auction was over. This FRIEND went to 150k, telling me she had a friend she wanted the package for, and she was gonna have it if it took millions! I figured that any friend that had her for a friend was pretty well lucky to begin with. In the interest of fair play (and GP preservation, dangit!) I let her have her bid!
The last day of the Auction was busy for the auction hosts, believe me. I was following five items, while they were trying to keep up with 30 of them! Of the five I bid on, I won one.
Given the odds, that's a clear win. I was happy. I got some reviews, Daizy would be able to gift her friend, and the auction was a flying success, especially GP-wise!
Guess what?
Thanks, Daizy. If'n only I hadda known!!
But, that's the way it is around here. When you find a site where people are "out-nicing" one another--and for no other reason...stick with that site, friends. No matter what, it is worth it. This is just one reason why.
Do me a favor, would ya? Over the next few days, go on over to Daizy~wetandcoldbrr 's Port and look around some. You'll find some excellent writing from a truly gifted writer, and you might just find one of the best friends you could ever hope for on this (or any other) writing site. Tell her somebody else sent ya, though. I might have to outbid her next time!
In His Care,
