Up for grabs this time are 2 excellent Sinker Redwood tops. These are light and stiff with excellent tap tone. They are big enough for a dreadnaught.

Retail value is $120 each (or $240 for the pair). A bid of $200 buys both with free domestic shipping.

This auction ends tomorrow at noon.

Some one want to explain the time stamp on the post.
My $100 bid was time stamped 02:08 clearly not the time I posted
The next bid was at 13:11 thats after noon.
The winning bid is at 14:59! 2 59 in the afternoon?

Depends on where you are in the country (on wich hour you set your profile)
When he says noon, for me, at montreal, it's 11am.

Very cool! I've been wanting to build with some redwood!

As for the time stamp. It has to do with what you've stamped in your personal settings on the forum. As my computer says right now it 4:23pm. Looks like my settings are still set for daylight savings or normal time (which ever it is) as my post says 5:23pm.

Yeah... I know it is confusing...

we have thought about making a ticking countdown clock for these, but it is more development to throw on the pile.

The website is on GMT, while Brock is on EST. My peeve is that these auctions are only up for half a day; they start in the evening and they end by the time I usually turn on my computer in the morning (I'm on PST). I would need to check for a new auction at bedtime, and then be sure to check the web in time to bid in the morning. So I keep missing auctions I would want to bid on, because I don't notice them until they are over. Yes, I know this is my problem. Just venting. But how about giving us a full day?
