ixfd64 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Just about every Tuesday, there is a "Hall Association" meeting at my university dorms. To encourage more people to attend, a ticket is given to each person who shows up. Well, just today, we had an auction where the tickets were used as the currency. In the event of a tie, the top bidders had to break the tie by playing rock-paper-scissors. I was told that I had seven bids, which was higher than anyone else. The next "richest" people had five bids. So when they put the bike up for auction, I bid six. Instant winner! I still cannot believe it. I estimate that it is worth at least $200. Sure, it's still an average bike, but since I got it for free, I shouldn't really be complaining! :P Now all I have to do is hope that it doesn't get stolen.

Ape Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Can I have it? :roll: Heh, just kidding, you keep it. Well done. I recently won ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã100 in a school raffle. It went straight on a new hard-drive and the rest was spent somewhere along the lines. -Mitch- New sig to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruffy5389 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Now all I have to do is hope that it doesn't get stolen. See if you can get a bike lock with that seventh ticket. :wink: Congratulations anyway. I have a Schwinn (good bike, nothin fancy) that has taken me faithfully over many a mountain. I've put the thing through the mill, and it still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
