You will be able to bid until Wednesday, May 30, 2007 at 8 PM EDT. I'll log them in as received and the time of arrival dictates a winning bid if there are two high bids of the same value for any specific item. If you wish to send me a proxy bid (to be held confidential) to use on your behalf at the live auction. The high bid received here prior to the cut-off will be where the live auction begins. If no higher bids are received your bid will win the item and it will be shipped to you within two business days of the receipt of your payment. A small shipping fee will be added to your total bid.

Send your bids to flyfishes@gmail.com and please put CFR Auction as the subject matter.

So please bid and bid high.

Included in this package is a Lazy Susan Tool Caddy, a small & large fly drying stand, and a wooden wall plaque of an owl. All handcrafted by Fred ?IPW? Bridges.
