Since Mark will corner the market on Ziploc bags in Vegas next week, I'll call this The UN-Ziploc Auction Contest!

Last year's contest winner Pam Goertler came closer to the correct number of convention attendees than anyone else. Since this is the first year the Club has had on-line pre-bidding, we'll use the Bruce Landau Memorial Auction for the contest.

Here are the rules:

Open only to members who are NOT attending the Convention. You must post your entry here! Entries emailed will not be counted. Entries close at 6:15p(PST) on Friday, June 18th, just prior to the auction beginning. One entry per member.

You need to guess the total dollar amount of all lots sold at the auction AND correctly pick the lot that will go for the highest dollar amount! Example: $46,300 and lot 143. Please use the lot numbers! The person who comes the closes to the final total, without going over and picks the highest grossing chip is the winner. Here's the link to the auction page:

We should have the totals by late Friday night after the auction ends. I will post the winner on Saturday morning.

Oh, The prize? Umm...It won't fit in no ZIPLOC Bag! I'll announce the prize next Saturday as well. You will enjoy it!

There will be a consolation prize for the person who comes in 2nd.

We wish all of you could be there. Don't forget that Greg will have his Convention Webcam up and running again this year.

Good Luck to all!
