Draft Pick Auction

[TuringComplete]

I have picks 100 and 121 that are up for auction. I want to turn the two picks into the single best pick I can get so here's how it will go.

Offer a single pick (that you own! I can't stress this enough.) to this thread that's a lower number than the last offer posted. Do not offer cash or combinations of picks as that will make things way too complex.

Also, I'm starting the bidding at 100 so don't offer a later pick than that.

The auction will close when the draft starts.

Well, we got a little flutter of activity and then not much. Fairly disappointing so far.

At any rate, keep in mind that these guys at 100 and 121 are going to be pretty good. They're going to be better than anybody you've got on your team, meaning they'll probably start for you.

And besides -- currently you're letting Leo pick up an extra draft pick for the meager price of moving down 16 spots. He could still get the guy he was hoping to get at 84!

This package has got to be worth more than that.

Alright. We're almost ready for the draft so I need to wrap this thing up. Thanks to all who have participated or contacted me about these draft picks.

Here's how it's going to go. This auction will continue to run until Sunday January 30th at 8:00 pm MST. That's GMT -7 if that helps. Bids must be posted here so everyone knows what they're bidding against.

At any rate, bids have met my "reserve" if you will so the auction is guaranteed. Whoever offers the lowest pick gets picks 100 and 121.

Thanks again -- and keep bidding!

Less than six hours left.

I need to clarify one thing about the end of the auction. Sniping is the strategy of holding your bid until the very end of the auction and trying to slip it in under the wire. On ebay people can set the maximum they're willing to bid and have the computer automatically bid them up to their maximum to prevent themselves from being sniped. Since I can't really do that, here's what will happen at the end of the auction:

The auction will end at 8:00 or 10 minutes after the last bid, whichever is later.

For example, if no one else bids, the auction will end at 8:00 and llfalcon will be the winner.

If someone bids at 7:57 and no one else bids, the auction will end at 8:07.

Each time someone bids it extends the auction another 10 minutes. If you have any questions, let me know.
