Great idea! Has there ever been a "Garage Sale/auction" event for the List
Dad? If not, it's good time to start one. I'll put something up for auction
too.
 
FDS Auction: One (1) RARE Vintage Digital Ocean Tarpon Mouse Pad (Newton
Clone). The very same image that is silk screened on the mouse pad can be
seen here: http://www.normalkid.com/collector/tarpon.html

Condition: The item is in very good condition does show very slight usage
but is in excellent working condition! ;-)

Minimum Bid: $10.00

Auction End: Since , this has suddenly come about I'll set my auction to end
Sunday @ midnight Pacific time June 15th. on Father's Day.

Email me off-list with your bids! G'Luck and Happy Bidding!
 
Anyone else?
Ron
