Shameless Promotion of my climbing gear Auction:
Tonight 33 lots of big wall climbing gear will come on line on Ebay, starting a 6:45, and other things coming online in 15 minute intervals, until 8:15 (the batch of big wall spoons!). See "Welcome, the Deuce" thread for an overall picture of the room full of gear.
My Ebay name is Climberdeuce, and all the auctions end on Wednesday, March 23, between 6:45 and 8:15pm
Lots of good stuff here--30 years worth of gear, lots of new stuff (including 3 A5 big wall hammers), lots of still useful big wall gear, and lots of junk too!
Portaledges, Haulbags, and Softgoods will go up for sale in mid- to late April.
Good luck, and thanks.
(apologies for this commercial announcement)

Klaus, that is a totally fictional story, never happened. Good legend, though,'cept I can't imagine it happening--no way, no metal down there.

It's not the spoons, it's the stack of stickers next to them! (that's my guess, anyway)

9 spoons, stack of stickers
No way man. Somebody is totaly blowing it here. This is a classic eBay sucker bidding. Deucey will love this.
There's 9 spoons, ..... now how many fingers on your hands?

9 spoons it is. I really do think it's the spoons but I'm sure the stickers help. Either way... that's amazing. And even if it is a sucker bet (which I really don't think) there's more than enough backup bids. ogtshack - Shack, that you? - has $50 down. If it is you Shack, is it the stickers or the spoons?

Yup, It's me....
It's definitely the spoons...
I really wish Deucey would have put them up separately...
But hey, if I win them, I'm more than happy to keep 2 and sell
the rest for what I pay.
I'm not trying to hoard I just don't want some gumby gettin the goods. :)
(besides if Deuce needs the cash I don't want to low ball him)

Sweet... Good for you. I'm just glad I have a secret.
$61! I won't do a blow-by-blow of any other items but the spoons! The crazy thing is if you do win and share the wealth those bad boys will sell for $10 each at this rate!

Yeah, thats cool klaus, but if it was only about money,
I'd just keep using the same GI can opener and lexan spoon I've been using for years.(probably even weighs less)!
Anyways...Who's this thompsonjosh character outbidding me?
Josh Thompson? one of you guys? Hmmmmm...
Nature, Whats your secret? Oh do tell!

There are several "JT's" out there in the climbing world but I happen to be the one bidding on the spoons.

It's not really a secret. I'm just feeling spunky because I had a feeling my DAWGS would whoop up on Pacific. I consulted with deuce a bit on some ebay tips/techniques so he's sending me a spoon and some other items. I hope nothing that'd fetch real money. Just glad I don't have to be in the bidding war for a damn spoon! I'm watching the bids and wishing the whole auction wasn't so publisized. Too many goods - too little funds. Bottom line is I just wanna see him rake it in on ebay. I've no advantage nor would I want it. This really is fun to watch.
klaus... just one question.. If I bought one could I send it to you and have it stamped "klaus"?
$76! damn... ya'll gonna let it hit triple digits?!?!
oh... and WOOF WOOF - GO DAWGS GO... sweet 16, baby!

Why exactly is he selling his stuff? That must be killing him to do that. Is he like the rest of us and in debt? I hope it isn't for medical bills, that would suck!

He's not selling everything. If you look at the other thread with the full load of picts you'll see that the last one is the stuff he's keeping. Do you own 12 drills? If you did might you consider parting with 10 at some point? And why is not for us to ask - just be happy the candy store is open.
oh and flamer... you're outbidding me to. Maybe we need to have a chat out back? Guido would like a word.

Guido should meet tyrone.....
IF i win I'll probably keep a couple one to use, one to hang on too. Give some to a couple of buddies, then maybe sell the rest.
good luck fella's!!

Werner- maybe. We'll see if it goes any higher- I could easily be outbid cause I'm pretty much done.
Guess that's what happens when you go get a "real" job...money to burn....you should see me at the tables in Vegas!
