I'll update the current bid whenever I can and would prefer you place your bids via this thread, however if for some reason you'd prefer to be super sneaky about it, then PM me and I'll try to update the bid amounts here. Easier for everyone if you just post in the thread though.

Gracias. =)

Bid retracted :(

server 1 - $40

do you also send to the Netherlands?

As long as you pay for full shipping costs and all funds are cleared, I don't see a problem with Chicken sending it overseas. Of coures, you better pay extra for insurance.

Server 1: $50.00 (updated bid)

$50 - Server #1

Server 2 - $60

$60 - server 1

I'll send her to the moon if you pay the bloody shipping. I gave the size and weight of the RaQ, though I think Server #1 is larger and a bit heavier. You can find out approx. how much it would be to ship it using this for the RaQ (and estimate a few pounds more at least for the other):

Shipped from:
Hawthorne and 190 St.
Torrance Promenade
Torrance, CA
Store # 878
90503

tip for those interested, go to fedex.com/ups.com and estimate your rate...

my estimates were both the same price (very rare) for server 2

also, checkout airborne.com and open a small biz account if you dont already have one. generally, my rates have been 10-15% cheaper..

international customers: ups is generally cheaper, though to the UK, fedex has been cheaper for me

Server 1: $210.00

#1 - 220

.

server 2 $210

Server 2 $250.00

$260...

you have to specify which server you're bidding for.

Uhh.. I know which one....
server 2 $280

:: bid on 1 retraced due to lack of funds ::
#2 $290

Sorry about my earlier post! (Which has since been removed!)

That was a gimmick to acquire the servers myself! ;)

My sincere apologies to Chicken!

If you are not going to bid over the current bid, do not bid.

a little off topic, but why does a mods thread get higher treatment (IE: IMPORTANT tag...and #1) then others in this forum? it seems to me like a certain mod is abusing his privileges? :eek:

Maybe because Chicken has been a moderator here for the past 2 years for free? It would be actually sad if he had to pay to get a sticky thread here on WHT.

It's none of our business anyway. :D

Thats Why.

#2 - $300

::bid on number 1 retracted due to lack of funds ::

My bid on server 2 is $320.

Cheers.

Please consider your funding levels *before* bidding. Danke.

:angry:

I have not been here long, but even I recognize Chicken's immense presence and hard work put forth throughout this entire community. I feel two-hundred stickys could not compensate him for all of his work.

Anyway:

Server #2: $330

Thanks for the kind words (and the bid!). I was just ignoring that post.

I dont need this server anymore, I was outbid and thought I lost it.. please retract my high bid. Ty

Now I know why people hate auctioning things.

Chicken isnt even the owner and hes posted the most, hehehe!
