This is so good.

Remember, right now, the total is $9580. So, if someone can bid this up just $170 more to $2420, to $2 we'll start today with $12K in the bank. That would really be awesome.

$2300.

Takes it! Thanks for the very generous bid and congratulations on taking this. Please email me at [email protected] for further instructions, please.

and time is up?

Yes. I apologize for that. I was working out so that I can eat copious amounts of rich food and still look okay (with clothes judiciously chosen and being worn. Or heavily photoshopped.)

 

[venividivicibj]

Don't worry about that. We have an advanced thread on oversized clothes that you can read up on. Style forum robot should have posted it as a joke holiday special

So, today, we'll be doing some Equus belts. In fact, a pair of unlined belts and a watch strap (non-exotics, not precious metals). The total retail value is approximately 300 GBP, with some variance, of course. @Equus Leather has graciously offered to allow substitutions, like putting the retail price of one item towards a more precious item, so there is quite a bit of latitude here.

Auction 14: Equus watch strap and 2 unined belts!
Ends Wednesday, Dec 17, 12 p.m.. or 10 minutes after the last bid, whichever comes later (or apparently, when I finish my workout).
​

Let's start the bidding... now.

Today, we have an auction for any two unlined belts and a watch strap (non-precious metal or special edition buckles, no exotic skins) from Equus Leather. As some of you may know, I have over 60 belts - probably closer to 70 now, andboth of my Equus belts make are in the half dozen that find their way into my regular rotation. The leather is terrific, workmanship precise, and the special buckles, in particular, are really special. In fact, I asked for another Equus belt for a Christmas present from my wife.

Approximate retail value of 300 GBP, or $450 USD

Bidding starts at $225, and the minimum bid increment for this auction will be $20.Bid generously and often! It's for the kids.

Good luck, everyone. Happy Holidays.

Please bid often and generously. What better way is there to spend money and get some great loot at the same time?

Here are some pictures to whet your appetites:
