 Series 002-Number 249.5 extra  Friday 9 February 2001

        Donated Set Sell for Scholarship Fund

  The saga ended on Friday night. The donated a set $1
, $5, $10, and $20 military payment certificates
Series 701 to the scholarship fund was sold on ebay.
   A group of gramsters watched and "chatted" as the
last few minutes passed. Only two bids were placed in
the last two minutes raising the final bid to $2075--a
tidy sum for the scholarship fund.
   The winning bidder was "newscott." The under bidder
was "coinwizard." Neither of these are gramsters as
far as we can tell. Hopefully, this can be corrected
soon.
  The action in the last few minutes was tame and even
something of a diaspointment, but considering the
action during the week not too surprising and the
price is not a disapointment. The buyer should be very
happy.
  Marcus Turner ran the auction for the scholarship
fund. He reported that the auction received 436 hits
during the week of the auction. That is an amazing
number. In addition, the 19 total bids is something of
a record.
  Reader comments are certainly welcomed for
publication in future grams.
