Christmas surprise for the lady
« on: November 09, 2010, 11:54:21 pm »
     Thought I would post this for a bit of fun, besides I think tales had a bit to do with this one.   Remember a while back I posted a what is it item, Right away Tales told us it was a Brandy Warmer.  Well before the lady knew what it was she did not like Brandy, Well after the Discovery she drinks a fair amount of warm brandy and like it.  Well she found a Brandy warmer on line she wanted but gave up on bidding, So I sneak in a put my own bid in.  Almost at the end and it looks like it may go into the $80.00,   What do you think, How far should I go?  and Thanks Tales for changing our little lives a bit  ;)

Looks neat, ironlord.  I see it is at $48 now with $14 shipping.  I have no idea what these go for but tales might know.  17 hours+ left.  Good luck!

Found one that has been sold before, but I don't subscribe, so can't see for how much  :(

That would be a nice surprise ironlord! 

Here's one that sold recently.....only two bids, but might give you an indication of where 'your's' is headed.

What a wonderful gift.  You guys make me want one (maybe two) of EVERYTHING these days!!  So pretty and graceful.  Is it heated with lamp oil?

Looks like it is up to $59 with an hour and 51 minutes to go. I think you're gonna need Auction Sniper or you'll have to be very fast on the trigger to get this one Ironlord!

Nope did't get, me and someone slugged it out till the end.  My last bit was 46 pounds I think in the last minute, but the last second I was knock out  :o .   I have been looking hard to find another on line but to no luck.  Oh well guess she will get a GPS for her new car instead  :-\

I would love that if someone could find me one for sure.  I have been looking hard even been looking under cognac warmers tonight.  I sure one will come along soon, maybe in the thrift store for .99  :D
