    Awesome idea! Thanks @HardWaterManiac! I'd say lets get this ball rolling.... but I'm going to throw a curveball in first.

    I'll start the bidding:

    Block# 1 @ $100

    &

    Block #2 @ $100

    Here's the curveball, if I win these kits at the end of the auction I will donate all the minnows to this years Kidfish derby.
    You can either "try" to outbid me on the Live Minnow Kits. Or you can bid with me to bump up my $100 bid per kit.

    WHEN we are the successful bidders we will donate them to Kidfish under our names, CFF and @HardWaterManic.

    Happy bidding!

    I just wanna throw this out there... @Inmate made an offer... "you can bid with me to bump up my $100 bid per kit". That means you can offer to 'split the cost of your bid' with him.

    Am I right Inmate?

    Anything for the kids Ernie. @HWM did a great thing by donating the Minnows to CFF, I'm just trying to pay it forward and get those minnows in the hands of some kids at the Kidfish derby.

    Bidding is set to end midnight tonight.

    Seeing as the KidFish Derby has been post phoned to January 10th, should we extend the bidding one more week??

    What do you guys think?

    Would like to get some feedback on this... Do you guys want to extend the auction for one week? I don't want to break my word and do it without member input. If nobody comments then I guess the auction will be over by midnight.

    I'll kick in $60 to block #1 going towards Ernie's operating costs and minnows going to kids fishing fundraiser. Great idea HWM and Inmate.

    So who else besides me forgot about this auction ending on the 25th?!

    With the hustle n bustle of Chrismas, visitors, good food, and fishing... This completly slipped my mind! Lol

    Anyways, Let's see if I got this straight...

    @A_Manitoba_Angler is the high bidder on Block #1 at $200, and Block #2 at $200.

    @gillflare is kicking in $60 towards payment for Block #1.

    I think that is correct guys???

    Thank you @Inmate for opening the bidding.

    I'd bet the winning bidder would be A-Ok if any of you still wanted to kick in a few bucks towards payment... ;)

    And a huge thank you to @HardWaterManiac for donating the live minnows.

    I'm not sure if @A_Manitoba_Angler is planning to donate all or part of the minnows to the KidFish derby. But if you are, here's 1000 high 5s for you!!

    Thank you everybody that got involved here. You the best! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    Ernie, I think MA is donating $200 on top of Inmate's $200 + $60 from Gillflare

    Yes, that's my understanding as well as far as MA uping the bid $100 per block.

    But I might be mistaken, but I think Gillflare is offering to pay ($60) part the $200 for Block #1.

    Correct me if I'm wrong @gillflare
