I'm not sure what your intent is or where you're coming from Ranger but your comment could be construed as trollish and this is supposed to be a silent auction as instructed in the OP. If you wish to place a bid (of any amount), you should PM Marc Ridgeway with your offer. Hopefully this clears up any confusion or questions you may have. If not feel free to ask here or PM Marc Ridgeway.

I said it in the other thread, but I'm not on any place to play at auction right now or I'd be in. I'd have been in a long time ago if I'd known this was a thing sooner. I never visit this section unless there's a new post showing from the front page, and as mentioned already this one doesn't seem to reach the front page. I only came here after seeing the other thread, and that was to check it out even though I knew I couldn't bid. Tonight I see the other thread updated with a post declaring it to still be open, and my only thought was "wow, nobody got it yet?" I couldn't find anything in new posts, so I went back to the other thread so I could find the link and I've just caught up and am surprised at how few hits this has gotten. Lack of exposure is the most crippling factor here, after that is economic situations and right budgeting on most everyone's part. As much as we want to, we just can't spare a fair amount.

Can We start this over with more exposure and a longer response time?

The bidding period was already extended, and ran Sun night - Fri evening; and there was discussion of the auction in a few different sections of the site. I don't think reopening it after the bidding is closed is particularly fair to those that already had bids submitted...at least not without the agreement of the person with the winning bid.
(I'm not sure if the auction actually started Sun night or Monday morning, because the times are messed up. It shows as Monday morning; but my own posts are about 9 hrs earlier than their timestamp.)
EDIT: I just reread the opening post, and saw that there is sort of a reserve in place. Per that statement - if the desired minimum bid has not been reached, the bidding is still open.
Marc - what is the current status of the auction?

I found out about this deal just before it ended, and as the owner of one of Fallen's Bowies and the amount of info and just plain fun I have found on the SBG site I threw out a Bid. It was a low price I thought for Fallen's and SanMarc's work so I hope there is no insult felt by either. Now I have to slip this and the Spears that Fallen is making for me now past Momma!!!!

Congrats to the winner - awesome looking blade by Fallen and SanMarc. Too bad my $ has been tied up elsewhere or else I wouldd have bid on it as well.

I guess Marc still has it and it has not gone up for auction yet.
